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.

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.

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.

    • 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?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • 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.
