Coin-Op Carwash

[iconicrocket]

Ok,

Was at the Coin-op at Queen St. West and Dufferin on Saturday night. And I can confirm its $2/3mins, felt like 30 seconds thou. Are these machine rigged?

[Redhouse]

There is a $3 one on st.clair/keele that i went to a few times. This one has quite a few options at the controls (8 i think).

The one i go to now is on Kipling (or it might be on Taber) in Rexdale area (right next to a Wendy\'s). It\'s a $2 mininmum for 3 or 4 min, i\'ll have to check that. You get high pressure rinse, high pressure soap, a scrub brush, and a wax option, and when you\'re not holding the trigger i think there is a low flow of water which is good when you\'re going around with a cloth.

There\'s a coin-op carwash in the Etobicoke area on Rexdale Blvd. between Martingrove and Hwy. 27.

I don\'t know any details as to price, options, etc...since I\'ve never gone to it. Just thought I\'d add one more to the growing list of coin-ops available

Rather than starting a new thread, I thought I might ask this question here - What typical outside temperatures would you suggest NOT TO wash the car ? Why ?

Thanks.

Interesting question...I\'d also be interested in any comments on this.

-30C may be???? if you using coin-op, I don\'t think ppl would stay out to wash their cars longer than 30 sec, but auto wash, cause it has blower at the end, most water is gone for long, but still enough to freeze all your exterior parts.

There\'s a new \"space-age\" coin-op in north Brampton.
Located on the west side of Highway #10, between Bovaird Dr. and Sandalwood Pkwy.

It has 20 Bays...... yes.... I said 20 !!!
$3.00 for 4 minutes.
Options include....

1 - Underspray.... jets in floor sprays underside of car (provided you park in the right spot)
2 - Tire Wash.... tire/rim spray
3 - Pre-Soak.... half pressure spray mix of soap and water
4 - Soap Wash.... high powered soap and water
5 - Foam Brush.... I would never use !
6 - Rinse.... high powered clean water
7 - Spot Free Rinse..... sprays a spot-free rinse mixture
8 - Air Dry.... blows high powered air
9 - Wax.... spray wax

Pretty impressive.

Gave my car a complete bath tonight.
Had it serviced at Westowne today.
It is now offically off the road till spring (April/May).
Been driving my trusty old \'88 CRX-Si for the past two weeks.
... So if you see a guy driving a beat up old Honda this winter, give me a wave.

For those of you up in markham the Shell gas station at hwy 7 and kennedy the indoor self serve car wash, they have increased the pressure of the water. I just went there yesterday and sprayed off all the dirt, crap, sand, salt and got it all off without washing. That place is pretty sick its indoor so you do\'nt have to freeze your ass off but they charge 60 cents a min inside. So i suggest you quickly find a spot (i believe there is rougly 10 give or take) then turn the mode to wash then just spray as fast as you can. Last time i spray off and cleaned off the crap, that cost me $3.20. I guess it\'s pretty cheap since you\'re inside.
So those of you have dirty rally mazda 3s that live in markham or close there go check it out.

Although being part of the white rally team is growing on me :p
