What do you do ?

Re: At the car wash, yeah...
 

well it only takes 2 mins to get your code, by that time you're still waiting for the guy thats in there already.

If you purchase and then line up there could be a massive influx of others in the meatime.

Time is money as they say! And in redneck dirty dust ridden truck filled central AB, the carwashes are always busy!

Purchase a code; that sounds very fancy.

In Calgary, I could never be bothered to queue for the length of time required to use a commercial operation so I purchased a pressure washer and did it at home. I don't care for shampoo, wax, etc., just getting rid of the grime was enough for me.

In High River, a queue of more than one seems extraordinary so, when the urge takes me, I queue and purchase the program I require when it is my turn (the machine is situated just before entering the washer (touchless). The non-touchless allow you to choose the program as it is running, no code required.

I haven't washed the car, they do that when it's serviced.

Re: At the car wash, yeah...
 

The car'll get washed just before it goes back off lease. No sooner. No later.

I used to get my car washed when I was single quite a bit. Sort of like aftershave and things like that, now I can't be arsed.

I do not drive, so I don't wash the car.

I limit my input to emptying the ashtray, chucking out empty water bottles, relaxing in the passenger seat and clenching my buttocks anywhere near Montreal.

That's sound like my husband!

And I can't be bothered so the kids do it, about once a year.

I don't wash my car. I live in coastal BC where we get a car wash from the sky about every second day.

Car wash? codes? what's that? we don't have such sophistication in rural NS!!!!:rofl:

Re: At the car wash, yeah...
 

Yeah really, keska-say codes? Here I just drive in, put loons or toons in the slot and start washing. I always use the foremost bay so I don't hold anyone up and close the door after.

Re: At the car wash, yeah...
 

Close the door of the car? Thought everybody did that so the inside doesn't get wet? :unsure:

Re: At the car wash, yeah...
 

The big garage doors you drive in and out of, some people take off without closing it when they drive away.

Re: At the car wash, yeah...
 

Too much sophistication. The best we have here is a pressure hose thingy. So I do it at home... well intend to anyway! lol

Codes are a pretty standard set-up in Britain now. You buy a car wash at the petrol counter, are given a little receipt with a six digit code printed on it, drive up to the wash and punch it into the entry keypad. I thought I had used the same system in Canada, and that was the standard set up for car washes these days. Perhaps not. I'm not an obsessive car washer myself (maybe once every few months), but given the comments on here, it's all relative!
