Outback Auto Wash II

I needed a quick wash after coming in from out of town, and I left feeling ripped off. There are four options to get your car washed, and the lowest two options (starting at $ 7) don’t dry the car! That’s plain greedy.

Best brushless car wash in Mentor! I hate going to car washes that have brushes. To many scratches and tearing away of antennas. Awesome for the winter months and quick washes in the summer. It doesn’t get everything but it’s better than nothing. If you want a thorough wash, wash it yourself.

Brushless means your car will not be washed. Sure we’ll spray it with soap and water but for $ 10 there will be evidence that all of the salt and road grime is off your car, however with a white car there is a visible film of dirt left on the car and despite having wait for half an hour for an incredibly slow unattended car wash your car will not get clean. What a waste and there is nobody to complain to.
I am desperate to get the salt off and each of the three bays are just… slow.

Credibility, shmedibility. I’m reviewing a carwash. And what a carwash! So the pooch and I were cruising around Painesville Saturday morning, looking for some trouble to get into. We spotted this gem, made a u turn and went right back. It is an Australian themed auto wash. I don’t know of any other washes that have themes, so this really peaked my interest. Personally, i prefer the get out and wash it yourself kind. I like to make sure i give the undercarriage a thorough scrubbing (just like when i’m in the people shower). This is a result of driving a 91 Cougar (the car) that had never been properly rust coated, and thus was so rusted out that it literally lost a wheel (like the jingle bells parody) as i was driving it.
You pull up to the speaker and a voice greets you with, «G’Day mate!» Sold. I got the 9 dollar super wash (the best being 10 dollars wherein Paul Hogan actually comes out and vacuums the floor mats). We rolled into the building, whose exterior resembled a dilapidated outback tavern. As the car gets washed, cutouts of a koala and a monkey swivel back and forth on mechanical arms. Needless to say, the dog was a little freaked out. The end result was a shiny, fresh looking whip. I didn’t bother to check the chassis, because i was still reeling from the whole cultural experience. Best part, no jetlag. I think more mundane tasks (laundry, post office, free clinic) should have amusement park themes. So fun.
