yeh it has a tyre and mag wheel + car wash + cafe there.

It should be open, well it just opened a few days ago i don't think many people know about it.

im guessing starts from 15-20 for a normal wash

my mate got a wash there for 28 i think, inside and out.

for 60ish u get a wash inside and out + hand polish.

not 100% sure on everything, its prob best to go there to check it out if your in the area.

In case anybody is wondering where Harry's Cafe de Wheels is

Orange Grove Road, Liverpool (that will work on www.whereis.com.au). The shopping centre is marked (cnr viscount place).

Note original topic should say "cumberland" (missing an e).

water restrictions or not , i wash my car at home !!!
Those water board guys dont come into my neighbourhood mate
if they , slip them $50 bucks cash and they leave you alone


Anyone used the soao brush to clean their paint before? I seen guys pull in with 4wd's covered in mud looking like they just came off the set of the TV ad for the landcruiser......using the brush to clean out their wheel arches n shit haha.....u use that on your car u'll get swirl marks all over the place....i did this on my last car it screwed the paint!!!
When i was in Melb , had to take Strawberi's car to a car wash place . I bought a bucket and my own soap and sponge . Dickhead attendant came over and told me i couldnt use it !
bullshit to that i say , i told him my car has a "$10k custom respray" and i refuse to use the brush ! I told them , if it scratches my paint , they would pay for it ?
They left me alone after that .

Ive seen ppl clean their dirty wheels etc with the soao brush , the little stones in it , can stick in the bristles and scratch your paint .

Echoing the "Don't use carwash brushes" comments, if you do wish to use it for your wheels etc, hit the brush with the high pressure gun for a while to get as much gunk out of it as you can.

Personally I CBF washing my car THAT much especially with water restrictions in place, so take it into the carwash cafes every so often. They do a pretty good job and ~$30 so you don't go through the hassle before a night out or hot date is value in my book.

The other option is to place bets with your hot female friends where they need to wash your car in a bikini if they loose.
