Default Coin wash

I go to the Coin Wash @ E. Hastings and Fell Ave.

I mainly go there to pressure wash the crap from underneath the car, the wheelwells, and the rims... and at the same time, fill up my bucket and hand wash the body right there.

At $2 for 3mins, I find it's the cheapest way to go.

Carib.

damn some of you guys are brave enough to take your car through a touchless wash? Those can serious efff up your rims if you have them. The rails that guide your car through are metal and they do a number on the face of your rims.

Note: Touchless have different ones, don't go to those with brushes, just go to those that you drive in, stop, and a machine goes around you and pressure washes you and stuff....

touchless don't have that metal guide.

You just drive in until the sign says "STOP" then the washer will go around the car and soak, soap and rinse the car.

The Esso at 49th and Granville has windows so you can see the car wash in action.
