Hand Car Wash In Act

[Hanso]

I'm trying to find a good hand car wash in the ACT?

Can anyone recommend one?

Cheers,

Lol. No idea man, what he said ^^

Or just go to any of the other car washes late when no one is around and make use of the high pressure hose. When no one is there you can ignore the no bucket rule and take your time

Yup, this is something I do on occasion.

That's what we did for ages when we didn't have a driveway and front yard to do it in. I prefer doing it at home but better than nothing when you can't.

I'm staying in a hotel at the moment so until I move into my new house later this week. All my detailing gear is still in transit. So at the moment my options are limited.

I found a Waves car wash at Braddon, are they any good?

I just do what GTRKat recommended.. i got to the one in Belconnen on Lathlain Street (Classic Car Wash??) at about 11pm and use a sponge on those hard to clean spots. Usually costs $8-10 and takes about 30min depending on how thorough you want to be.

My GF previously worked at Waves. They did a good job when she got her washes but the liquid wax they used to use only lasted a week. They don't use that stuff anymore, and I haven't seen the new stuff yet.

If you goto Waves in Braddon, try it out when it's not too busy but not dead.

I went to Waves out at Gungahlin, one of the guys at Trojan Motorsports recommended them when I popped into the workshop today.

Once I'm in my house in a couple of days, I'll go back to detailing my car myself with my Meguiars gear.

Yeah mate. Go to Kim's Car detailing in Wignall place in Belconnen. They'll do anything from a simple wash to a full detail that'll include wash, carpet shampooed, paint buffed etc.

May have to book ahead for a wash though.

re: Kim's, I might still have the number of a dude who will open the place up on a Saturday for a cash job.

I just drive through as many bugs as I can. They eventually stay knocking each other off your car...

Hi Hanso

I live in a unit so although I'd prefer to do my own it's not always an option - I often use the the Star car wash (now new manager) - first level of the Target car park in the Canberra centre, all washes are hand (no big brushes belting crap out of your car). They also do a good polish, also by hand, various levels of detail various prices .. but good if you want to drop your car off, have it cleaned and come back in an hour after lunch etc and pick it up, it's all done.

^^ Awesome, thanks for that.
