Car Washing

[rafaelcordoba]

Hey,

Since I live in an apartment and I have no garage, are there any cheap places I could wash my car in Wellington/Lower Hutt?

I've seen one machine in a Gas Station in Petone once, but I'm not sure if that could damage the car somehow, anyone has been using it?

Any tips how to keep your Subaru clean and tidy without spending a fortune?

Cheers!

Don't eat in the car. Don't take the car out of the garage. keep a cover on the car while in the garage.

Unfortunately no, there's no self-service washing facilities in Wellington / surrounding areas. You'll need to find someone friendly who will lend you their driveway / street parking and use their water.

I wish there was a Washworld here somewhere, but alas, no such luck.

That is sad

I was living in Germany and they have huge self-service facilities with everything you need and you pay like 10 euros to use.

Back in Brazil, we have some dudes at the gas stations that wash your car like their own and you pay like, 10 dollars.

I guess I'll try that machine I saw in Petone, and buy a cordless vacuum cleaner

Most gas stations will have a coin operated vacuum next to their car wash. Some even have a coin operated self car wash built on to the side of the car wash machine. Well in most auckland gas stations they do

Coin operated vacuum machines - yes most service stations do. But never seen one with self service washing brushes etc.

However if you wanted to pay someone to clean / detail your car for you - http://www.treatme.co.nz/Deal/Wellington/espresso-carwash-caf-porirua-dec15es?utm_source=dailydeal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=smalltitle&utm_campaign=ddWellington&ds=2015-12-17&c=false&ab=&p=1

Oh yeah looks like that first place is a good option. That second one is based at Queensgate Mall.

Yeah the one in the mall I'm not sure about, it says it's a full service site, what ever that means. Might go take a quick look this Saturday

If you're going to use a car-wash in Wellington, go to the one at the Caltex by the Basin Reserve, it's a brushless one so it won't f*ck your clearcoat.
