Talking Where do you wash your 8s in Singapore?

Hi Guys,

As above, if you are too reluctant to DIY, where do you most frequently wash your cars in Singapore?

I like to do mine at those manual handwash centres at Shell stations.

Err.. bro.. I recommend AGAINST petrol station handwashes.. I received hairline scratches courtesy of those places..

I wash my car at Cars International.. located at shopping centre car parks. Same as Ebala.. I conned myself into buying a package.. so I wash my car at Marina Square carpark bi-weekly. Very shiny after that

DIY with 2-bucket method. It's the only way to minimise spiderwebs....provided you use the right technique and equipment.

Inotherwords, can't recommend any commercial washers.

I've been going to icare professional polish @ AMK autopoint Level 3 since 2004...started with them on my previous ride. They used to be a Glare franchisee and were initially located on the ground floor.

Day services are from 9am-5pm and night services from 5-11pm. Great for busy car owners up north who can simply pop by for a quick wash or express wash n wax on the way home from work.

Paint sealant is fantastic, dried bird poo slides right off with minimal residual marking after using some water and cloth/damp tissue paper. Though they won't reveal what product they use, except that it is from the US and is a unique blend of PTFE (whatever that is) and acrylic resins. Instead of stripping away paint layers when they buff cars, they add on new layers of protection.

No complaints over the years and you can always get them to re-do stuff if they missed out a spot and you are dissatisfied. They'll be most obliging.
