DIY car wash facilities- where's that topic?! :o?

Postby Sick Puppy » Tue Aug 01, 2006 12:51 am

I'm sorry guys, I saw it here a few months ago I'm sure but I'm buggered if I can find it now!!

I'm looking for one of those self serve car wash places in Wellington (just moved here), the ones with the pressure hoses etc. One's just opened up in Napier, and there was a post here a few months back talking about them, butI can't find it, and darn it, me and my mate need one- the cars are filthy! Any help on this is much appreciated- ta!

Actually, I want to know where this is too. Reason being, I autocross my cars, and that means some *serious* mud issues. When I clean the car at home, I don't have a water blaster so lack of water pressure is an issue. Plus I then have to spend another half hour trying to get all the mud off the driveway so I don't end up tracking it into the house.

Sorry, old cellphone quality photo.

I really need a water blaster, and a hoist. All the underside and suspension is utterly caked in years of mud now.
