just wondering if we can start a register of good/bad car washes in brissy. i recently went to a certain one on the north side and it was just crap it missed large parts of the bonnet and side skit.

i wont mention any names i just wanted to run the idea parts the mod's/admin's incase they are worried about defemation and all that jizz. i love having a shinny car but i don't have the $$$ or time to drive around trying to find a good installation.

what do you guys think?

i used the automated one at Aspley (opp KFC). i was in a hurry to get to the JBT concert so i didn't check the job just gave it a quick dry. it was cheap, $8 which is their so called "ultra" deal.

my advice, don't use it.

is it worth updating the first post maybe doing a quick ref table?

Having worked for carlovers for a number of years it depends on the system they having operating in their automatic washes. I've seen several system at the site I worked at over time and can say some were fantastic some shit house. Alot of it is trial and error. I have never had any problems with brushless systems eating clearcoat thats a bit strange. Sites maintain and monitor their systems helps to improve the quality of the wash.

My tip is if you are using the automatic system wash your wheels first because all of them suck balls at washing wheels lol

If its really dirty I take it to the handwash cafe at Logan Rd...get a 10% discount for SAU members. $20 outside wash only.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
