Where Do You Wash Your Pride And Joy?


Recommended Posts

I use the sparkling car wash in Burwood. It's right near the Vicroads. Good for bucket washing when times are quiet. Always have fairly clean bays too, and plenty of space to chamois or clean/admire your car.

Yeah i wash there too..its only 2 minutes down the road from my house.i wanna try the new one near the burvale on burwiood hwy tho

hahaha. tkdbboy isnt that car wash one of those leave your car there and people clean it ? i didnt think you could clean your own car there or can you? i only driven past it once or twice

I travel all the way to Sparkling Car Wash once every fortnight to wash my car there too with all of my friends.. we try to go when there's no one else there because we tend to fill up the whole place haha.

Once the one opens on Williamsons Road, I'll be going there to try it out too since it's 5 mins from home but Sparkling will probably be the main home for me to meet with everyone to wash at since they all live out east /south east side, it's a central meeting spot for us!

Yeah Sparkling always has some Civic or Subaru meet going on there. I admit it's close to home (main reason for going there), but I always feel at home there because it's like a car enthusiasts car wash. I reckon a good 80% of the cars that go there are sports cars, particularly in the bucket washing hours.

i only go to sparkling carwash cos i usually dont have any wheel cleaner and i need to hit up the K-mart down the road. the entrance and exit are quite scrapable for lowered cars

oh and...http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Me...tr-t190805.html

wow im surprised how many ppl on sau actually go to and use that sparkling cvar wash on burwood hwy thats pretty close to my house i always drive past i rarely see skylines there lol. i use sometimes the bp ones but my favourite is the aspendale gardens car wash corner of springvale n wells road.

what is this sparkling carwash? sorry for the n00b question, cars been in the shop for 6 months now.

yeahh the entrances on sevenoaks rd for the carwash burwood hwy isnt the best...going in its alright but coming out you will probably scrape even on angle...i alwasy use the one way entrance on burwood hwy :happy: so i dont scrape..

Has anyone seen those guys selling car wash in a can at the servos...they ask ridiculous prices but you can barter heaps and get it for half what they are asking...i reckon the stuffs brilliant..

i washed 3 filthy cars with it and still had a half a can left..plus it leaves a nice waxy shine afterwards....im not selling the crap..but i do think its good

plus its waterless so good for the environment...which means i can spend 10 mins in the shower now >_<

when i say half , i mean a quarter of the original price they quote which they then half..

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
