Wax Car Wash

This is an indulgent clean for your car — it’s not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but the guys certainly do a good job making your car clean and sparkly again. I have been going here on and off for a few years normally after I’ve neglected the exterior of my car for many moons.
The one thing I have noticed is that the police seem to frequent this place to keep all their cars clean. I’m not sure if this is the best use of funds given the high pricing structure here but at least if you get pulled over or arrested, it will be done in a clean police car.
Included in the price of the car wash is a coffee and a nice waiting area with plenty of newspapers and magazines to keep you occupied while you wait.

This place gets points simply because it is not owned by the scary Crystal Car Wash guy (

The deal is simple. You drive in on the Cleveland St side, clean out the stuff in your car, and hand it over (with the keys) to the busy blokes at Wax Car Wash. They do all sorts of fancy things to clean up your vehicle, though I just opted for a vacuum and wash ($ 35). I reckon I got my money’s worth, since the inside of that car probably hasn’t been cleaned in 12 years, and the outside was pretty nasty too.
It takes about 25 minutes. You are entitled to a free coffee or tea while you wait. There are almost always cops here, getting their cars cleaned. Honestly, cops must have the cleanest cars in Sydney, or it just kills half an hour? Not sure.
In any case, when my car reappeared on the other side of the place, it looked completely different. Shiny and red! I had a red car? I thought it was brown. The inside was also squeaky clean. Leather seats? I had leather seats? I had no idea.
When they’re done they call out your car make and colour (so those of us who don’t pay attention to stuff like that — take note of what kind of car you drive. … I had to memorise mine. Car names slip through my brain like nouns in an unfamiliar language.)
My only gripe: they didn’t manage to get all the bird shit off. That was kind of the whole reason why I was there — ludicrous amounts of bird shit. They got some off… but there were substantial remnants. Maybe you have to pay extra for that? I’ll just do it myself… one day …
