JohnA Posted 18March, 2016 Report Share Posted 18March, 2016 We are thinking of purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment to move into.More a lifestyle change then anything else, so other then moving from a huge house to a shoebox, my main question is, how do you go about washing your car?I dont want to be taking it to those hand car washes, as i know most couldnt care less about your car, so other then going to those self car washes with all your equipment, is there any other way?Not sure i want to give up the porsche , or maybe i'll get rid of the black edition and get a white one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 18March, 2016 Report Share Posted 18March, 2016 I live in one and have the bonus of the basement carpark is pretty empty after working hours. I line my cars up and wash one after the other. I use the fire hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted 18March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 18March, 2016 ha ha, that would be a sight....Well we submitted an offer on the apartment today, so if they accept may have to ask the question, if i can wash my car using the communal tap, and get it in writing if they agree.Otherwise maybe i'll keep looking.

Ozvino Posted 18March, 2016 Report Share Posted 18March, 2016 when I lived in an apartment I would go to one of those coin operated wash bays - I would take my own buckets, soaps, cloths, mits, etc and for $2 fill the buckets - then wash/rinse/dry, only using the gun for rinisng. Never spent more that $6. I would do it early and never got bothered or had someone behind me waitingTherapy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 928 produces a forcefield along with adding 3 inches to your manhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 18March, 2016 Report Share Posted 18March, 2016 Lots of upmarket apartment blocks are now built with a car wash baywell in sunny Sydney anywayMelbourne is the opposite, we are designing apartment blocks that include '0' car parks - plenty of bike storage though and a vegetable patch + chicken coop where the car wash could go!

ByronBayChris Posted 18March, 2016 Report Share Posted 18March, 2016 Would hate to be wanting to get my car out during "peak hour".... good concept, but a few have closed down due to problems - taking way to long and damaging cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg_guts Posted 20March, 2016 Report Share Posted 20March, 2016 Going through a similar thing in Sydney at the moment, downsizing, the must have list includes 2 secure car spaces.At most of the ones we have looked at all seem to have wash bays and additional cage storage or are an internal lock up garage style.Not sure what to do with the 3rd car though?
