Thanks for the information!

So is each token 4 minutes, or two tokens for 4 minutes?

I just went to powerwash my car. $2.00 for 4 minutes. My car has several coats of Zaino and wax, so all of the dirt/salt came off really well. The water freezes instantly, so you have to keep it at one area for a few seconds. I just have beads of water that is frozen now, but no big deal as the salt is all gone.

good thing you didn't because they are currently out of business until further notice :(

I keep my car super dirty until I see 1C or higher

with everything in ice form and the car parked outside, it doesn't do any damage to the car until everything thaws. Ice does not have mobile ions and cannot do any damage to your metal.

so wash it when it does get warm. Otherwise better not touch it. And when you do, use ample amount of water to clean wheel wells and little gaps and creases in your car. take your time and do it right.

Where did you go to do this?

the place is closed. so is the one next to vib motors on no 3 road.

the only place open in richmond that i know of is the hand car wash right beside superstore. $20 for small car $26 for suv

are you keeping your car indoor or outdoor now?

hmm.. i've driven in the metro's underground parking lot where there's plenty of salty water, and now my car is in my garage...

hm.. that's not good...

mainly which area should i check for rust?

^ fender and possibly side skirts area

not having a garage sucks my car is frikin pwned with snow :(. Should I just put a cover on then wait until all the snow is gone and then pressure wash it?

how many people still need to put in a key to open a door nowadays.... almost every modern car has keyless entry...

wait... your shitbox don't :haha:

i have keyless, but when things freeze up so bad the lock motors can't move. i've had to use the key to open manually many times... heating up the blade with ciggy lighter has been the ghetto trick of late :thumbsup:

http://www.easywash.com is back in business... something about the landlord pulling a fast one on their lease or sth and did an illegal shutdown, but some sort of legal action from the business owners sorted things out.

^ yup got a email bout them they were opening today.

still have to wait for my free car wash coupon, and give it a try

Go to EasyWash in North Van near the second narrows bridge. They just re-opened, I like them because they do an underbody spray wash as you drive in...every other touchless wash just sprays the sides as you go in...

the biggest grief i have with easywash is that the "underbody spray" dosen't really spray the underbody because the sprayers come from the sides of the car. esso, for example, has a sprayer that you drive over as you enter the bay. also for the same service, esso is almost $2 cheaper. also, the wheel cleaner sucks, and you have to clean your wheels with a brush yourself.

however, easywash is great because they have 3 wash bays and you can pay from the lineup, whereas others only have the single bay, and you have to run to the cashier at some point and line up to pay. also, if you're not happy with how clean your car is washed, you can consult with the easywash attendant and if they are in agreement they will immediately wash your car again with the same option you paid for :thumbsup:

It's never really a good idea to spray ample amount of water at the hot downpipe and cat on the underside of your vehicle....just wait for the warm day to finally come and pressure wash the bottom side WITHOUT driving it in the past hour....

what about hot water? both esso and easywash use hot water to clean.

better than ice cold water sure but water will flash boil if it hits a running car's catalytic converter anyway.

is it possible to keep a car clean in the winter? haha

Where is the touchless esso located???

you can search for your nearest location here: http://map.essostations.com/locator....=14200932932PM

Going to try this tomorrow, will be posting the details tomorrow.

^ not the best wash but gets most the dirt and grime off and it has an underbody spray. All for 5 bucks

Yeah that's the aim, the full wax/clay etc detail will be when the sun comes back out of course but yeah since temperature is above 0 it's a good chance to get rid of all the salt on my car, and for 5$ can't complain.

$5? I highly doubt that its 5 bucks with a wash with underbody spray
I usually hit the esso on marine and fraser since its most convenient on the weekends and it costs $15+ for a wash with underbody spray

Even the basic wash is like $7.99
