They are open 24/7. Prices are $12-16 depending on what you want.

I've been to the Coquitlam Shine four or five times now and it's pretty good. I'm cheap, so I do the $8.00 wash, but go more often. I should try the more expensive options just to see how much of a difference it makes.

None of my cars drink Red Bull, so never need to worry about that part.

Have a look at your guys car paint after a few months, all those scratches and swirls.

MG1 01-09-2018 08:35 PM

don't really care............ scratches, no........ swirls, plenty. But car looks amazing after going through. Much better than driving around in a dirty girl.

Also, it'll buff right out.


Funny thing is, I have a Porter Cable polisher and all the shit I need, but have no time. Like the verse in that Shania Twain song, "That Don't Impress Me Much."

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me-you must be jokin', right!

Oh-oo-oh, so you think you're something special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much

Now Shania can wear the dirtiest boots in the world and I will let her in my car any day or night............

How does a touchless wash give swirls??

MG1 01-13-2018 08:19 PM

It's not touchless......

Does it induce swirls? E46 needs a wash badly - when I get her fixed.

Those who know me know I maintained the condition of the paint on my Element religiously. This place is the only place (Mobil 1) I trust if I needed a quick wash but didn’t have time to do a proper hand wash. Never got any swirls. It’s a touchless Sabre system.

Strangely enough, the two times I’ve had issues with the car wash was once in the winter when something froze or the sensors broke, and another time I can’t remember. Called up the owner and he gave me a free wash both times. So if it matters, if something goes wrong they’re pretty quick to correct it.

I went recently. Very clean. Car is a hatchback so there were a few spots that were missed in the back but the dirt was easily wiped off with my microfiber cloth.

I brought my beater to the shineworld ones. They're great and do a good job on the wheels IMO.
The Mobil1 is ok. It's touchless so that's a big plus but the wheels come out looking the same as before.
