Car wash in Makati

[sparton]

How I wish nga na may mejo private na space and water lang for rent so condo dwellers can wash their own car. Bawal kasi carwash sa condominiums. As much as gusto ko mag carwash ng sarili, wala akong choice kundi pagawa sa iba. I know na wishful thinking to since maliit lang ang market.

sorry hindi pala chamois. yung blue cloth na pampunas sa windows pala.

What I would do is go to a streetside car wash, give money upfront and tip the carwash boy, then get the hose from him and blast away at my car, especially the undersides. Then let him soap the car, and I rinse it. After that he in turn dries it, plus vacuum, etc.

Now that I live in a house, its a different story. Medyo OC kasi ako on vehicle cleanliness.

BTT:

Sa Evangelista dati marami streetside carwash. 80 pesos lang.

This will be my dilemma when I move into a condo. Limited wash and wax opportunities for the car. Chances are I'll be washing/detailing the car at our family home or in the province during the weekends, when i have the time. Upside is the condo will be closer to the places of work and I'll have two garage parking slots so chances are the cars wont be as dirty during the week.

How long does it take you guys to wash your car? Normally it takes me 45 minutes to an hour for a OC car wash (including turning the steering wheel to access the suspension parts). When i wax, that's another 40 minutes or so.

Super OC cleaning (wheels off. inside out) = Half day.
So-so clean = 2 hours.

:D

How 'bout near the Rockwell or Fort area? What are the good (OC-level black car owner) car washes?

Same question...Is there a carwash provider sa sa may Karport Fort area?

Unfortunately, no. Worked in Global City for five years, and there isn't any carwash close by which I'd consider acceptable - closest are already Antricks and Hillsborough at Magallanes.

Wahahaha... yung OC clean ko, so-so clean mo.

[crazy_boy]

ok sana sa antricks. kaso ang aga mag sara. after office hours konti nalang choices.

Yup, ganyan ako ka-baliw mag linis ng kotse. So 30 minutes of playing in the rain equates to a 2 hour clean for me.

BTW: I don't turn the front wheels, I would jack up each wheel when I'm cleaning under the fenders. Mas madali with the MB jack. :D

how much sa antricks? bukas ba sila ng sunday?
naalala ko dito nag EB ung PD dati.

Yup, thats my observation rin sir...dapat nga magkaroon ng carwash sa area...given na maraming nakatira sa condo that they cannot clean their cars there...Pwedeng business opportunity! Sino pwedeng sosyo?

On a serious note, my brother and I are actually contemplating on starting a car wash business. We are just looking for right places where the competition is weak.

small investment kasi ang car wash compared to other businesses. ang problem lang siguro sa start up is yung place. baka hindi pa ma-sustain ng income yung rent.

Mahal kasi ng property and rent sa Fort area eh. Hindi kaya sa bandang Quadalupe na nagpapa carwash mga ayaw pacarwash sa mall?

[lowslowbenz]

I find yung carwash sa mga parking lot ng mall very superficial. I can't stand to look at a shiny looking car, tapos its all muck and grime underneath the fenders.

Parang tao din ....... puro hilamos, walang crotch hygiene. Yuck!

The mall washes also don't use enough water to loosen the dirt. I noticed that my use of a 6L water jug to shake off fresh rain water spray from the road when i park puts out a bigger puddle of water then those guys washing the cars.

Man, mukhang a car lift will really be useful for you.

Alternatives to the Fort for a good car wash would probably be the Rockwell "Backwell" area (Guadalupe or Makati Ave side), or perhaps the Bayani Road/AFHOVAI area in Taguig/Makati/Pateros.

Instant swirl marks pag nag palinis ka yung mga nasa mall hehe.

I will never have my car washed at the mall. Highway robbery na at mukha ngang lalo magasgas car mo. I also like a car wash na natural light para kita ko kung may dumi pa na natitira.

[madduck]

have the same concern living in a condo. bawal lahat sa parking. one time nagpapalit ako breakpads, every 5 minutes dinadaanan ako ng guards. pano pa ko magchange oil hahaha. ok ba ONR?
