Happy Wash King William Rd, is one of few On The Run car washes that allow you to do the cleaning yourself. Pop in your coins, select your type of cleaning (rinse, pre-rinse, suds, post rinse, polish etc) and get moving. $1 gets you around 1 minute 30 and you get beeped at as your time runs out. This car wash is conveniently located for me and has plenty of bays so you don't have to wait. It also has a really cool air blower that I like using to dry off my car at the end of the wash. Unfortunately however, it doesn't have a coin changer so you have to have plenty of shrapnel available before starting. Additionally, the last time I was there all of the air blowers were not working and I proceeded to have an "out damn spot out moment". Tips for making your car wash as cheap and fun as possible? - Skip going through all the steps, you really only need to spend $6 on pre-rinse, brush wash, post rinse and air dry to make your car sparkly clean - Have plenty of change, otherwise you have to flirt with the guy at the On The Run counter to try and get some more - You will get slightly wet so leave the Manolos at home ladies

These people are auto Detailers. They wash and polish your car and give it a full makeover. They…read moretarget their service to those folk who own and operate a top end prestige car, and who do not have the time or the inclination to zip out to such a thing as a do it yourself car wash. They are people who feel their car is like their calling card or in some cases an extension of their penis, something to be admired for it's unique shape and aerodynamic prowess; it's speed and agility on the road is supposed to add value to the myth of their own personality. So these folk do not seek to wash the car themselves. Think of Edina Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous chastising her daughter Saffron by saying "You don't want your mother to be a normal toilet going mother do you? Where's mum? On the toilet!" the idea being such mundane tasks are for lower class people and those with minimal status and credibility. Well these are the types of people who will roll their ninety five thousand dollar car in for it to be detailed by experts who consider the finish and upholstery to be penultimate to life itself. I'm only partly kidding. I think the price is probably reflective of the targeted customer and the value of the car and the actual preciousness of the main resource that ends up being used - water. A lot of water goes down the drain at Spotless, and I'm sure they'd be paying for that as a once off, as I can't see how they'd be recycling it. All in all the service seems busy and it is close to the trendy part of town, Central Markets; so there are plenty of prestige cars getting a good hard rub. Lots of people coming along for the service I'm sure. They charge up to five hundred dollars for a full detail on a 'people mover' - that's one of those largish mini bus types of vehicles, but then you can get a service for about one hundred as well, so you will probably want to chat with the boss and scrutinise the costings to discover exactly what you get for the price. You can also get paint protection, like some kind of an invisible condom over your paint job I guess, and they will remove pet hair, tint windows and ... well you go and check out the list of things they'd do on the website or give them a call, I'm starting to feel like a pimp.

I had a bad experience at My Wash Malvern on Friday. I was waiting for the buzzer to go off for…read morethe car to be ready and eventually noticed my car wasn't on the forecourt any more. I enquired where it was and it had been finished off and parked on their back lot. The buzzer hadn't gone off. No-one tried to find me to let me know. I ended up wasting another 30mins for my car. The company should check their buzzers regularly to make sure they are working. They should have a process for finding owners if a car isn't collected when the job is finished. I wasn't offered any compensation and there wasn't any manager there who could deal with that. I will be trying a different car Wash in future.

A DIY drive through service, and pampering station for your prized automobile. Located on he main…read moredrag, it's easy to assume there is a petrol station attached, but alas it is a standalone car wash service. Unlike traditional car washes where it is fully automated, you actually get out of the car, insert money into the wall, and manually clean using a spray and broom attached to a hose (You're an ideas man Steve). Happy wash guarantees that your car will remain scratch and damage free, during and after the process, (but then again I was taught a good worker should never blame their tools). The station also claims to use recycled water (whatever that means). A separate work station allows you to vacuum and perfume the interior of your car. It's a convenient service for those that procrastinate cleaning, but you're really just paying for the use of tools and materials.

I refuse to spend heaps of money going through a car wash and getting someone to quickly clean inside. Instead I use this car wash. You get to use all of their equipment. Super strength vacuums, high-pressure sprays, a detergent that smells like bubblegum and even tyre polish. There are also lots of other cleaning materials available to purchase in a vending machine. If you do a thorough job it will take you a maximum of 45minutes (and that's how long it takes me to do my disgustingly dirty car!). I like to think this way is a lot cheaper, however, I have my doubts. Everything takes gold coins, which then gives a limited amount of time to use each piece of equipment. I end up spending a good $15-$20 altogether. This is cheaper than getting someone else to do it, but not heaps.
