Hey, I'll introduce myself also. I work at hand car wash with schultz and we offer great service and even better for SAU members :P. @ bobjones: when you say we buff and remove the paint... you don't have any idea what your talking about, the wax we use with a worx wash is applied in the soap sud washing process... there's no buffing whatsoever.

Anyone that would like more attention paid to smaller detail are recommended to drop in on monday or tuesday as we are not busy on these days.

So its not even a proper "wax", its merely an additive to the washing process...

My aplogies, I thought this place was similar to the shopping centre "buff" places that fubar your paint with their "hand" polishing.

I HAVE now visited the premises and they do a very good job at cleaning and FAR better than your shopping centre mobs.

Oh and for the record, I do know what I am talking about...

So if you want a good wash then this place IMHO does a great job and for a reasonable price. Unsure about the full detail, but as you can tell I think I know how to do that...

I've been like three times now, and you do have to be careful not to go on seriously busy days, as they seem to have a lot of new blood on to handle the rush. Being new blood they lack certain skills, like maintaining the fog free shine on the insides of my windows.

Basically, the hordes of kids they have on rush days borked my anti-fogger you usually get from the car wash, and i had fog troubles saturday night when it was all rainy and stuff. I had to drift with my window open and that's distracting having wind coming at you sideways =P

No worries at all. I actually merely went with a mate for a coffee while he had his car washed. Company SS commonwhore, VE in silver. So you won't remember it...Lucky your close to the driving range though...

I will add that I am not a fan of the addtive waxes to washes, but thats my opinion.

Seems whenever I drive by your busy so thats a good sign. Especially considering there will be more popping up soon (atleast people realise than the BP/Mobile brush places suck), which is where the commonwhore belongs...(it is better than the VZ...but meh...)

Cheers

I just noticed today, that there is a "Car wash cafe" being built atm on Gympie Rd at Kedron where the old Pizza Hut used to be...

Just thought Id let everyone know, as there building a full cafe with cake and food...

Maby a Tuesday Night dinner venue one night...?

i think i'll have to give this place a try

can someone post up or pm me the actual address please

or you could read the thread as it's been mentioned several times?

west side of logan road, in between creek road and broadwater road

it's a huge yellow (orange?) building on an entirely cemented lot with staff in blue tee shirts and a cafe to one side

good luck finding it =P

must say ive been quoted a total different price.. 150 bucks to wash , chamy , vaccum inside and wax shine ....

Other then that i had the car booked in after new years they where closed.. some mobs wouldnt bother calling up to re-do the appointment these guys are great called up aske when i want it done and even offered me 10 bucks off the price when i go in next time .. Customer service wise they are excellent

anyone who cant spend the time cleaning there own car and wants to pay someone else to do it shouldnt own a car in the first place.

shows pure laziness in maintaining your own car. Cleaning it would be the most simple and cost effective thing there is for any maintaince of a car.

seriously, 3-5 or 7hours cleanin the car wont hurt and atleast you know every aspect of the car thats been cleaned top to bottom.

wouldnt trust half the chemicals car details uses these days. pretty easy to go out an buy a couple of bottles of all the mcguires products and then use them on your own car, then refill them with all the cheap products.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
