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.

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."

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............

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.
