Car Wash Requirement Survey

[carpanatic]

Mga bossing, just want to ask kung magpapalinis kayo ng sasakyan nyo, ano ang gusto nyo sa carwash na pupuntahan nyo o yung klaseng service ang ibibigay sa inyo?

[flakez]

depende yan sa target market mo kasi eh.

kung ako, proper washing technique, 2 buckets, 2 wash mitt, microfiber na drying towel, shampoo na hindi nakaka strip ng wax and properly trained wash boys.

[renzo_d10]

Ako kahit ano, basta hindi balbon ang trabaho na tipong nagmamadali parati so in short, yung devoted sa trabaho na wash boys.

At syempre, yung top to bottom ang linis. Hindi bottom to top. :hysterical: It may sound stupid pero may mga car wash shops na gumagawa ng ganito.

[jhnkvn]

Depends whether I like their product (yun ginagamit nila)... kung ayaw ko, wala na. As much as possible, I do my own carwash during my free time though.

[SiRbossR]

minsan if not, most of the times mas okae ang car wash sa mga gasoline stations.

[Ginnova]

proper washing materials and technique. kahit mas mahal than others ok lang.

[robot.sonic]

Eto specific na hinahanap ko sa isang carwash:

1. proper materials. di gumagamit ng pranela.
2. proper clothing ng mga carwash boys. dapat walang mga butones ang mga shorts. minsan kasi nakakagasgas.
3. proper procedure. ibang mitt ang ginagamit sa taas at sa baba. at sa gulong.
4. merong blower na ginagamit sa pag dry. kung wala kasing blower, pag alis mo sa shop, may mga tumutulo pa especially yung sa side mirror at door handles.
5. di nag gagaguhan ang mga carwash boys. dapat seryoso habang naglilinis.
6. pinupunasan yung sa may lalagyan ng gasolina. may tubig kasing naiiwan dyan kung di binubuksan at pinupunasan.
7. pagkatapos maglinis, naglalagay ng papel sa paanan ng driver para di mabasa yung carpet. (para to sa mga carwash na pareho ang hugasan at punasan)
8. binubuksan ang engine bay para punasan din yung mga nabasa. (sa panay hugasan along panay ave qc ginagawa nila to.)
9. may final inspector parang sa BB.
10. maayos mag vacuum.
11. 100 max ang singil.

[zap.FREEDOM]

kahit ano, basta ok at hugas na hugas talaga, yung tangal namuong dumi dun sa singit-singit ng auto ko,

MAS PANALO sakin yung:

-free watch of movies while you wait
-coffee/softdrink and snack. (of course for free, No extra charge)
-pulido yung pagka-vaccum ng interior
-yung tire black, yung pure tire black talaga na galing sa bote ng tire black, hindi yung galing lang kung saang container, yung iba kasi may halong tinunaw na interior saka gaas.
-chamois yung pamunas not pranelas
-naka wash gear yung mga maghuhugas (gloves and boots)

[Reepicheep]

1. Wash Mitts
2. Microfiber Towels (Pref. Microtex if you can afford it)
3. 2 bucket method
4. Blower
5. Matte-finish tire black (Big NO to likes of Rain Harry)
6. Professionally trained personnel
7. 120-140 charge for SUVs.
8. Seats with at least an electric fan for waiting customers.

Try out the prominent detailers (BB, ZeroStain, Hillsborough, etc) out there and you can probably observe their equipment and procedures.

Yun lang pala eh, walang problema yan kaso sa paco area nga lang ako near paco park

[umi001]

Have to concur with those who've posted above - proper materials, chemicals and, most of all, wash technique. So:

• Proper working area - should be in a roofed, preferably walled area so that the car is not washed in the sunlight. Proper drainage is a must, so you're not driving your newly washed car into a puddle of dirty water.
• Pressure washer, to remove loose dust and dirt from the vehicle - but not so strong as to strip wax or sealants, or worse, push dirt against the paint such that it causes scratches.
• Mild car shampoo, in proper dilution, so the wash is properly lubricated, but not so strong as to strip wax or sealant.
• At least 2-bucket method - better if 3 buckets (wash bucket, rinse bucket, wheel and tire bucket); top-down, and a mild touch - no pressure applied!
• Separate wash mitts for upper body, lower body, and wheels/tires/wheel wells.
• Make sure that wheel wells and the back of the mags are cleaned as well.
• Door jambs and gas filling area are cleaned as well; same goes for the engine bay (just a quick wipedown).
• Blower to ensure that no water is left in any cracks or crevices.
• Proper microfiber towels - preferably waffle-weave - for drying.
• Tire black should be water-based - none of that clear, silicone-heavy goop (Rain Harry and the like) which can degrade tires and sling.
• Proper vacuum and light cleaning/wipedown of interior.

That's what I can come up with, off the top of my head, with regards to car washing. Of course, waxing and full detailing services would entail a lot of additional requirements!

[junerski]

may supervisor/manager na sasalubong sayo to ask kung ano pagagawa mo sa shop... carwash ba? detailing etc?

minsan kasi kapag first time ka sa isang carwash shop eh mangangapa ka kung sino ba dapat kausapin sa mga pagagawa mo sa auto... lalo kapag carwash boys lang ang bantay tapos patambay tambay lang

[tengchuachay]

Yun lang pala eh, walang problema yan kaso sa paco area nga lang ako near paco park

Saan sa Paco? What name ng shop? Taga Cristobal lang ako para sayo na ko pa car wash. Meron kasi ako pinagcacar washan along Quirino Ave. ok dati ngayon pangit na gawa. Meron din kami pinag carcar washan sa likod lang ng Cristobal ok sana gawa kaya lang yung mga boys walang damit tapos papasok sa auto mo pawisan ayun tulo ng pawis yung seat cover hehehe

[tengchuachay]

Nasubukan ko na magpa car wash dito yesterday. Ok naman. May system sila, may blower pa nga. Bago pa lang place. Nakausap ko rin yung may ari. Accommodating, ayos! Sulit sa halagang P70.
