Not sure if many of us know that Coles fuel stations are doing this deal since a number of months. The automatic car wash, especially the platinum combi is much better than other automatic car wash I have seen. The current deal is 2 for $30 or single one for $20. A number of us are returning back to work after a long holiday with kids so thought of uploading this deal to get the car wash done before we head back to work :)
Delete it if this deal is not worth a bargain.
$20 for 2 car washes is pretty common.
Where? My local car wash prices start at close to $50
Coles Express in Waitara or GP in Hornsby. Groupon sometimes has cheap wash coupons. Close to $50 must be hand wash. OP’s deal is machine wash.
No thanks I'm good ;)
I prefer to wash my own car so I know it's actually been washed and not just dinged up.
are coles carwashes brush less? or do they use those horrible scratch making brushes?
My local one uses brushes… horrible horrible horrible…
You have a choice with the more premium washes as 'soft cloth' or touchless.
Main problems:
Your car is better off being cleaned with a 2 bucket method at home with a little effort, proper cleaning practise and 30 mins of your time (for a regular wash).
Scratches and swirl marks are complimentary as well….but at least it is free! Bargain!
I don’t understand the economics of car washes. You can get a proper hand wash and chamois dry, tyre shine etc for $20 at most car washes. I guess these automatic ones are quicker though.
The majority of hand washes also don't utilise proper practise to minimise a scratch/swirl free wash. That is why they employ 457 workers and minimise their consumable costs by reusing budget and reused materials.
If you have a shit box, no problem. If you value your car, wash it yourself or use a proper detailer (who will charge for their knowledge and experience).
So a $20 automatic brush wash is better than a $20 hand wash? Not sure who you’re arguing with.
No, if you comprehended correctly, I explicitly said a hand wash on a budget from a third party/company will cut back on materials and labour to make it profitable (unless you go to a proper detailer……they won't charge you $20…). The same business model automatic car washes use.
Your self proclaimed $17 Crystal wash from selected locations (not all do it) is as good as throwing a bucket of soap on your car, rinsing it with a pressure washer and then rubbing the set dirt/grime (on previously contaminated, used towels) while drying it off.
I look forward to you providing some before/after photos (in macro, sunlight) as evidence of a 'proper, quality hand wash' (as proclaimed) for $17
Where for $20? I live in Sydney never seen 20.
Actually Crystal does $17.
Scratches and swirl marks are complimentary.
