Have you tried the one in the small soi between San Paulo and Grand Market, 90 Baht for a Fortuner inside and out.

Really? That sounds incredible. My car is spotless at the moment, but that definitely sounds worth trying out.

I was very surprised so asked him a second time, 90 Baht, there were 8 cars waiting to be cleaned, it is only a very small place

I would never wait for 8 cars.
I have tried several car wash, I guess the price depends on the material they use. Some use cheap washing products, others special foam for cars.

You don't have to wait if you are there first. Also just because another car wash is more expensive doesn't mean it is any better, just like so many things in life. Plus would you go to a restaurant that had no customers or one that had many.

A restaurant as well a car wash with many customers means it's cheap, but not sure good.

Mr. Euro, I'm sure you know the make of soap, water softener, polish and confirm the water pressure is correct and will not damage the paint.

As I wrote before, the soap quality, pressure etc, makes the price difference.I experienced with cheap car wash, prefer to spend more for quality.

You were very fortunate as a Mazda CX5 is 160baht. Motorcycles are 60baht and trucks around 180 baht. My car always looks like new afterwards. Unless you turn up first thing i.e. 9am you will usually have a 3 hour wait. They take on average 90 minutes,inside and out. Will also T cut cut small scratches if you ask them n/c

You always have for your price.
There are much cheaper places outside HH. You spend time and gas.

For a few years I have used the place at the car hire on Soi 80, about halfway down on the right coming from Petkasam Rd......can have a small libation, while its being cleaned......or have it cleaned while you have a longer one!
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!
