I washed my car today after months of neglect. It took me four hours to wash and polish it. Tomorrow, the wax goes on. Maguilers stuff is amazing! I used their 3 point system and now the car just gleems!

Here is a typical day at a car wash in Yokohama. Weekends are better, 'cause thats when the real car show is...but Monday was fair day at the wash.






A little Simple Green does wonders!!



got really dark out ater I was finished, but you can still see the shine*)

Your car is amazing. That's the weirdest carwash I've ever seen though.

 

Yeah...it is kinda funky....some pretty amazing cars are there on the weekends, today there was the new BMW Mini Cooper (barely pictured), BMW 318, Porsche 911 (pictured), Civic Type R (pictured), MR-2 GT turbo, Alfa Romeo (pictured), GMC Suburban pickup slammed to the ground, Honda HR-V (pictured). 2 Subaru Legacy wagons (1 pictured), and Nissan 180SX (pictured)...

On weekends, you can see Ferrari's Lamorgini's, rally worthy Lancers, you name it, its been there!

damn nice pics, I like checking out the background of diff states, in this case country. I need to take a trip to Japan.

 

i'm guesiing u all get to wash the cars yourself

 

looking good

 

 

At this particular carwash...yes The have the pressurized water and the suds brush for $6.50/10min. Then I did the paint cleaner, polish, tomorrow the canuba wax goes on...

Last week when I got my car back, I took it to a gas station and had it hand washed. They did a really crappy job; literally just cleaned the dust off the dirt

When I am on my way somewhere and I need a quick wash, I put it through one of them brushless carwashes...but I don't do this often.

Today was my day off so I wanted to spend some time doing it right. After not wash it for months (being in the shop...constant rain and snow etc...) I thought that she deserved to be treated right after all she's been through.

Two Alfas, a 164 and a GTV, the 164 is in the background of one of the pics.
Did you ever get Lancias over there, they pulled them out of England a long time ago.

 

I occasionally see Lancia's here (the hatchback one)

 

Nice pics/cars...I need to take a trip to Japan just for the cars alone!!!

 

your car is sooo nice
i don't like the wing tho

 

ditto. but yea, im freakin jealous.

Nice work.

 

Why'd you blur out the licence plate though? Do Type-Rs get stolen alot in Japan too?

 

your ground is wrong
glad to see your car running again

 

huh?...never touched the ground....joking right?

 

No ITR's aren't as rare here...thiese pics will be going on my website, and its so easy to look up a persons' details just by the lic. plate number...just don't want to take chances.

 

You have a really nice car

Japan looks so awesome I wanna visit some day

 

Your sig says you have a top fuel kit, you only have the wing on, how come you took it off if i may ask?

 

I wish I was in Japan
But whats you website, I wanna see more pics.

 

The front lip is really low to the ground so, I was afraid it'd get damaged while it was in the garage...I think the installed the engine from the bottom, so I didn't want them damaging the skirts during the process...

The wing does stick out like a sore thumb with out the skirts on..

website's not done yet
