hi, in BKK I can clean my car paint for 100 thb, only outside as I do it daily, do you know any place that costs similar in Pattaya ?

Can you tell me where please ?

Thank you.

 

MOVED TO PATTAYA FORUM

Doubt if you will find any 100 baht cleans. I pay 120 for a small car on Thepprasit, next to the (new) Foodland.

Khao Noi Car Wash near the Chilled is 100b outside only for small cars.

 

At the back of the TEXACO gas station on Sukhumvit ,

beside TESCO (Theprasit - Jomtien )

 

180 Baht inside and out for an Innova ... Probably less for a small car.

Bung Car Wash next to, and just south of, Hafele on Sukhumvit opposite Tesco near Thepprasit Road junction. Extremely fast and good service with many workers. 120 baht outside of car only, and 220 baht inside, outside and under bonnet/hood. Outside clean will see you in and out in 20 minutes.

Took my fairly new car to a car wash on the main Sukhumvit Rd. in Banglamung twice, first time it was done well, no issues. Second time they scratched all the window film inside the driver's side window and chipped the inside of the rear passenger door. 

Went back after I spotted it a few days later, they deny it, not going anywhere.

 

Just be advised it is the one on the main road with the big metal superhero figure out the front, they do tyres and window tints as well. 

leave it on beach road and you can pick it up on the beach in hua hin next week. Free.

so this is an overprice place that is not even able to work correctly !

so funny that people pay 500 to wash a car when their job is never better than the 100 places. don't you know that the workers all are uneducated uncaring people anywhere you go ?

 

 

Poseidon Car Care in Soi Potisan.

They make a good job outside and inside. Last time I was there they charged 200THB full service for my CRV, but that was 16 months ago.

I wouldn't let any Thai wash any car I own (or anyone else on the planet for that matter) near my GLE. They have no clue how to wash a car properly or carefully. 'Suds n Scratch Heaven' is the best name for any Thai car wash.

If you're looking for an automated system then good luck with that also. These machine places are very dangerous and damaging of your painty work and can in worst scenario rip trim-parts right off the car.

Go invest in a good washing system for yourself i.e. wash bucket's - for both wheels and body (never same same), good microfibre mitt's one for rims / wheel arches / lower skirt areas, and one body ONLY, quality wash fluid, maybe a soap-foam applicator, pressure water-gernie (no more than 2000 PSI),  chamois, or new-tech plush-type wipe towel/microfibres to remove rinse water, a good trigger hose nozzle so you can control the water flow. This way you can rinse as you wash (leaving soap on a car in the heat isn't good) and it also rinses grit and stuff dislodged by your micro-wash mitt off the panels. Especially important on the lower skirt areas to help remove the grit as you apply the foaming mitt so you don't push this detritus across the lower panels. 

Washing the car is good therapy I reckon and a good workout too. It also gives you a close look at the whole outer of the vehicle which helps you spot any problems as they develop and not when something fails or falls off etc.

I dont think it will survive as well as the " Top Gear " Toyota Pickup Truck though.

Yes I totally agree   I always wash my car and bikes myself

why someone would wash their vehicle everyday unless they are chauffeuring around a V.I.P

is beyond me..can't really be good for the paint ?

Cars are less maintenance, than wife and kids.  

My local car cleaning place will charge the same, as a full clean, 220b whatever, I don't like the pressure washer under my car, I worry about strong water pressure entering things like CV joints and other bearings/ sealed steering joints etc. nowadays with no grease points just rubber boots to protect them.

My (Thai) wife tells me  the car is far more important than the house, which is why i see expensive cars  outside  cheaper houses, the car being the status symbol, its just a shame  they dont  know how to handle any car on the road

Outside car can be done by the best car wash in pattaya for 100 thb.

People who let covid infected staff sit in their car cannot be very smart. They do not even drive my car to spray water, I do, because nobody sits in my car and my remote never leaves my pocket. Then it's just like vaccine, the rest of you just accept everything....

 

 

Is this the big spenders forum ?

 Farang neighbour  was washing his car on his drive way  much to the annoyance of his Thai wife. he asked her whats the problem.. she replied that their neighbours will think they are poor  seeing him wash his own car instead of going to the car wash

Glad you had the opportunity to let everyone know you had a low end Merc
