There's a car wash enthusiast among us! Hey y'all! I review car washes just for fun! As long as I have videos I upload every Wed & Sat. If I don't upload then I don't have any videos currently. I've been into car washes since 2015, but I didn't start filming washes regularly until 2022. My goal here is to be safe and professional on top of having fun! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm from Longmont, CO, but I go to college in Longview, TX, so I mostly film in the vicinity of and between the Denver and Dallas areas.

(7-20-24) This new mini Belanger tunnel is neat. Way better than all of their nearly Kondor installs which there is one of in Boulder.

(7-20-24) Wasn't originally planning to film this, but the US2001 at the gas station right next to the wash in the next video was replaced by a 360. I decided to add this wash to my list last minute. For how dirty and dingy the machine and bay looked this thing delivered well. Wash rarity: 2 Wash rating: 10 Do I recommend?

(7-20-24) Day 1 of my 2 day birthday car wash spree! I figured I'd film some in bays to see how they end up with the dash cam footage and the editing is looking real sharp! I apologize for the rear camera being crooked. I initially put it on backwards and had to reapply it, so that explains why it's like that. It won't fall off, but in order to fix it I would have to get some new adhesive. The ...

(7-19-24) Here's the 2nd test video I did with the dash cam. I edited this one differently than the previous video and this is more of my usual editing style where I go back and forth between different perspectives. Now that you've seen both editing styles let me know which you like better! The only notable change of equipment here are the new dryers. Wash rarity: 1 Wash rating: 10 Do I recomme...

(7-19-24) Dash cam debut day! A viewer had an idea of a front a rear dash cam setup, so a couple days ago I bought a set, and today we get to film its first car wash with it! For this specific video I decided to change the editing style. The front cam footage is shown first followed by the rear cam footage. I think this editing style would be great for tunnels, but for in bays my other editing ...
Dash cam debut means live wash sprees are back!

(7-11-24) Man this retake is so overdue, and I haven't been here since the single digits of my car wash videos. Glad I paid a visit back to this independent place, and the wash was excellent and left no spots behind. Prices actually haven't been raised since my first visit 4 years ago and the equipment seems to be pretty much the same. Wash rarity: 1 Wash rating: 10 Do I recommend? Yes Wash sel...

(7-3-24) I happened to notice that the 360 here got replaced with a Razor of some sort so I headed over here to check this out! Ironically this is my first Razor EDGE because there aren't many in TX and CO like there are in WI. These seem more efficient than 360s and Washworld has better color theming imo. Next time I'm back in WI I'll plan to film the mini tunnel and the Shell with a tunnel wa...

(7-3-24) Glad to see these still here. The prices have been raised here and did the top wash this time in the other bay. These machines are well maintained for rounding out on 20 years old. This is still the only place I know of these things because there are literally none in CO and TX, and they're getting absurdly difficult to find nowadays. I wasn't expecting THREE coats of tri foam here, th...

(6-10-24) Here's another brand new car wash near home! I was glad that they were still doing their $1 top wash deal even though they opened a few weeks ago already. The tunnel setup is rather average, but glad I saved $24 on this wash. Wash rarity: 1 Wash rating: 9 Do I recommend?

(5-23-24) WOW, this has got to be the flashiest tunnel wash I've ever come across. Hodge, PECO, and an Accutrac?? Talk about a dream car wash setup. Big Splash is a small chain of tunnel washes mainly in southern Colorado and one site in eastern Oklahoma (for some reason.) After my experience with this place I think I'll have to treat myself to their other Colorado sites in the future. Wash rar...

(5-23-24) Just down the street from the Merchandiser there is another older Mark VII to check out! These are also becoming quite difficult and rare to find as many of them are being/have been replaced. This one here is hiding in plain sight and still works great, and is much cheaper than the Merchandiser. Unfortunately the stainless GTO-300 with the Thrust Pro dryer, I was talking about earlier...
Great video!
Yes the Quad Wave Mitter is still available from Belanger
As of 2-3 years ago when this was put in.
Automatic car washes are awesome
Hahaha looks like ClearWater is losing customers and net cars but they have complementary services and Buc-ee’s doesn’t and vacuums are not free without a free vacuums barcode after a car wash purchase
they each have their pros and cons lol. I've been thru both washes and they are both great. Buc' ees is much cheaper though.
@@excelwashes_4u I’ve never been to ClearWater Car Wash but I’ve currently work at BlueWave Car Wash and is the same thing as ClearWater they use the same chemistries so BlueWave & ClearWater are combined car wash company now ever since ClearWater Car Wash purchased the BlueWave Car Wash company on March 2023 and we lost customers and members due to price increase and all BlueWave Car Wash location Closed for 4 days during an upgrade conversion progress after that they reopened and they go to next site for next week and close the store for 4 days then reopened and repeat until all BlueWave sites has been converted
That's a sussy water-relocating system as the dryer.
lol yep
Over here in Eunice Louisiana the only 2 working car washes we have is a ryko softgloss Maxx 5 and Mr bee’s car wash with apparently some Hannah Sherman equipment with a water wizard tunnel wash model and not sure about the dryers
I kind of figured this replaced a Laserwash 4000 (on that note, usually a lot of the Laserwash 4000 units seem to have their original LaserDri dryers replaced with Superior dryers, and to their credit, they are fantastic aftermarket replacements), the wash bay does look a bit on the old side, but at least they got a great replacement system (I like they kept the Superior dryers, those seem a bit more powerful than even the standard Premier dryers that Razor's come with from factory). Though it does look like that system may need a little work done, one of the nozzles on the top front of the wash arm doesn't look like it's spraying, and why is there no spot free rinse cycle?
I have a feeling that superior dryers were often installed with 4000s. Idk why there was no spot free or it was high pressure which I have seen before.
@@excelwashes_4u I've been through a couple Laserwash 4000's that were programmed that way, but it just feels weird that they wouldn't want to program a regular spot free rinse cycle into their machine and not make it so high pressure.
You don't see too many of these Aquajet's anymore. Usually any car wash owner who wants a Mark VII system usually gets a ChoiceWash these days since they're basically an Aquajet and a SoftWash all in one.
There are still way more of these around than the older Aquajets.
@@excelwashes_4u The old "Vintage" Aquajet's (especially the GT98) are nearly going extinct these days.
The Merchandisers nearly are, but I still know of a small handful of GT-98s. I plan to film another one soon.
Could you show a photo of before and after the wash on top of your video? I really enjoy watching it but I want to make a comparison to evaluate the wash.
I usually film multiple washes at a time, so doing that before and after every wash would be kind of pointless. Unless I'm doing just one wash I'll sometimes do it.
Looks like a good price for top wash
Great video!!
Nice one, a seemingly beat-up Washworld Razor doing a job, it looks like that's Washworld for ya
I haven't found a bad razor yet now this being my most filmed system
Great video!
Nice video!
10:48 the fact that the dryer shifted when the gantry began moving back
That's a thing with Mark VII on board dryers. Every SoftWash and ChoiceWash I've been through that has on board dryers usually do the same thing.
Happy Belated Birthday🎉🎁🥳
Happy birthday to you 🎉
Happy birthday Jonathan!!
Ooh, two in one day!!
Excellent video!
ExcelWashes4U is cooking with those front to rear view transitions at the top brushes
W camera setup, video, and car wash
It still has the petit auto wash
Wow! That’s so cool
Nice video!
Nice video!
Yay!
Congrats!
Wow looks like a Futura almost the same wash stule
Great video!
Certainly did look like this wash did a really good job, I did find a Tommy Tunnel in Lawton OK and I do wanna film it sometime Also I filmed a couple of my own car washes recently, both were firsts for me
Great video! What happened to the other camera you usually use alongside your phone?
I tend top use it mainly during filming sprees. if I'm filming one wash it makes more sense to film it just on my phone and I don't have to edit.
@@excelwashes_4u Oh ok
Judging by the signage in the bay and the 2 remaining Slimline Dryers, this probably replaced a Ryko SoftGloss (Probably either an XS2 or an early Maxx). It's super funny for the owner to put 1 Air Cannon dryer in place of the broken Slimline Dryer in the middle.
i wonder if this was a conversion from tommy's xpress
nope
Never seen those dryers in a Tommy tunnel before
Awesome video man 👍. Love your car wash channel 🙂.
Nice video!
Awesome automatic car wash
Great video. Nice catch. Totally awesome automatic car wash 😊
Nice Video
Nice video!
Nice video!
Dryer time is 60 seconds from startup to shutdown. The fact that there's no dryer timer is just ridiculous. There also is a Kwik Trip on Mequon Road near the Ozaukee/Milwaukee county border with two Mark VII ChoiceWash XTs.
Saukville too although that one is closer and has older ChoiceWashes
the fact that this replaced a 360 is hilarious lol 😂
Wait until you go through a Razor EDGE in a low light setting. Better with LumenArch, but I couldn't be any more amazed when I went through one without it.
I don't have any nearby to do a nighttime take with unfortunately.
@excelwashes_4u We have an XR-7 Razor In Hillsboro Texas
There was one in Mt. Pleasant, but it's closed and there's another in Wichita Falls. Hillsboro is too far for me.
Great video!
Wny was the led on the arch discontinued
OPW held a patent, sued Washworld, and won.
@excelwashes_4u Well, that sucks I think it's also a really dumb lawsuit. If you ask me just a waste of money, washworld does their thing, opw does there's completely pathetic
@@excelwashes_4u where did you see this
