So i got off work this morning (yay graveyards) and decided to check out the new hand car wash place at Mt Gravatt (kinda corner of logan and creek rd, towards computer alliance/shell servo) and give my baby some loving.

Cost me $33 bucks for the Worx, inside and out detailing.

You basically drive your car up, order your wash of choice, leave it in the driveway and pop into the cafe on site for a coffee and cake while you wait and watch the guys work.

Of course this sounds like a shameless plug, but i can't really say enough good things about this place. They're obviously skyline enthusiasts, as they took extra care of my car and it popped out the other side in fantastic nick. Even the scratches under the door handles (ex girls car) were fixed up, and the scrapes from my shoes on the sideskirt from getting in and out.

A+

:)

Look for the big orange signs with the hand print logo.

Edit:

Bumping post

Since we're entering level 5 restrictions which prohbits anyone washing their cars, you might want to keep this car wash in mind as they now offer 10% discount to SAU members.

They recycle their water and will be able to continue operation as we sink further into drought, and a dirty skyline makes baby jesus cry.

Just to clarify - the discount is for SAu Qld Club Members (ie you will need to flash your member card).

I have been wanting to use one of these places for a while... they seem pretty cool. I was stunned at how many are being built in Sydney at the moment. Every 5 minutes we'd pass ANOTHER one being built! And wih water restrictions, they're fab. Might have to go check this one out, seeing as we're close to Mt Gravatt and all :sick::spank:

we can still wash at home with just a bucket though cant we?

although I often just take my own bucket to the sunshine autowash (opposite Hyperdome) and diy! just use the rinse and wheel cleaner

but its good to know they do a good job!

$33 plus coffee and cake...I could do 12 weeks worth of washes at the freedom fuels self serve at EMP! cost me $3 per wash :laugh:

$1 = soap spray

$1 = fill bucket containing meguiars shampoo and sponge the car down

$1 = power rinse it off and shammie!

Do it late at night when there's not many ppl :laugh:

how long did they take to do all of the car??

about 20-30 minutes (usually 15-20 for non skylines i think, lol)

Was that to wax and polish it as well or just wash.

Ed.

when i say detail i mean detail

they buffed scratches out of my paint, full wax and polish, my car GLEAMS

Basically, this place is a good idea if you haven't cleaned your car in a while, or have a lot of frequent passengers. My poor baby was both of those and it needed a fair touchup, so to me it's good value because i just don't have time these days to do it myself (over an hour easy) and it's not me who has to do the elbow grease =P

forget the $33 on hand car washs. I pay a kid down the road $5 to wash my car. I supply the stuff and he spends about 1hr washing/vacuming my car :rofl:

That sounds like a good idea maybe he can buff my car manualy for $10

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
