From what I read it says I can't wash my car outdoors. I have an underground car wash, I just haven't had the balls to try it out as I know someone is going to say something jaha.

Husky touchless at No.3 Rd and Blundell. Washes better than Washworld (on Steveston at least) and is only ~$7 if you buy a pack of 10.
I find the touchless works well if you have decent wax left on your car...so probably only for newer cars.

Wash?  Car is covered in so much tree sap it looks like I have big flecks of pearl in my paint.
I've really been meaning to head out to Royal Oak and wash it there, but every time I drive by, it's really damn busy. Need to go late, one of these days, when I have some free time and feel like going out lol.

One of the guys who was washing just did circle motions on the hood then did a quick dip in the one bucket multiple times and went back to circle motions on the hood. There was hardly any water/soap in his wash mitt either. It was weird cause for a good 15 minutes all he did was wipe the hood and front bumper. Interior was cleaned pretty well though, they got all the dirt and stains on the door sill.
I recommend just washing yourself at royal oak, but you can't really 2 bucket wash cause you can't fill the buckets up. Probably have to bring the water beforehand, since the water pressure is too strong to fill in the bucket.

2. We have 3 buckets next to the cars at all times. one is for soap, one is for rinsing and one is for the wheels.
3. We don't randomly start soaping the car on the hood, we actually have a system for where to start.
4. We spend a total of 5 minutes soaping each car so it is not possible that we spent 15 minutes washing the hood and bumper.
5. There's only 3 working here in total ( including me) and we never do circular motions.

5. There's only 3 working here in total ( including me) and we never do circular motions. | 1. I made the effort to google the location and draw the location i was told to pull in. 
2. There was only one bucket I saw that was left on the passenger side wheel. Which was mainly used to wash the passenger side, hood, bumper.
3. The soap that was sprayed on after you pressure washed was dried out within minutes, car was not wet
4. The whole wash inside and out took about 45 - 50 minutes. Took 3 guys to wash, and it costed only 25 dollars I couldn't complain.
5.There was 3 people washing my car at the time. I came in on 7/31/15.

1. Again, we have 3 buckets, you probably didn't see our other buckets becasue we usually put them next to the wall, which is on the driver's side.
2. We do not spray the soap after we pressure wash it. We spray it, let it soak for a minute or two ( which is why you thought it was dry) . Then we pressure wash the whole vehicle and immediately start soaping it. As far as I know, water doesn't dry in the 10 seconds I put the hose down to start washing it.
3. We do not charge $25 for sedans like you car.

3. We do not charge $25 for sedans like you car. | 1. Sorry, I mean't driver side. I was sitting on your chair. had my directions messed up thought the right side was passenger. But I pulled in so my right is driver side. It was 1 bucket on driver side. I probably should have said something after he did my hood for like 3 - 4 minutes.
2.So you guys start washing with dry mitts after you foam gun the car with soap.
3.How much do you charge, for a basic wash, with interior. I also got a spray wax afterwards!

1. I don't think you undertand. We spray the soap solution. Then we pressure wash. Then we soap. The gun that shoots out the soap is not a foam gun.
2. None of our mitts are ever dry. They are put in the Rinse bucket as soon as a customer comes in.
3. Small car ( mini coopers, hatchbacks etc) : $20
Sedans $23
Small SUV $25
Large SUV $27
Maybe you were'nt paying full attention. I think you should come back and I'll have you stand next to the car as I explain each step we do.

I got charged 23, at least the price was correct. Like I said for the price, you got 3 guys washing your car for almost an hour. I couldn't do that even if I paid all 3 minimum wage. That is worth.  . My complaint was basically one guy did circular motions and dipped the wash mitt in the same bucket over and over again. I wish I took a photo, or atleast told the guy to stop and use two buckets. Idk why I didn't say anything  . I know nothing. Plz rain vancouver.

Well as soon as I find out who used one bucket and circular motions I'm going to have a talk with him...
I'm usually at work 7 days a week and I have not seen this situation happen once, and my employees are denying that they washed your car, so you can see why I'm a bit confused here.

As far as I can tell, those swirls were caused by that one guy, which I already know who it is and had it taken care of. Now this won't happen again as we are the only hand car wash place that actually tries not to scratch the customer's cars.
