The Car Wash / Elevator Fanatic
Добавлен 14 авг 2017
This is my channel where I will be filming Car Washes all over Massachusetts and New Hampshire!
Ever since I was 4 years old, I was heavily interested in the Car Wash industry. The reason for this is because I’m autistic. I started this channel in 2017 to document the different types of car washes that I live near, or ones that I go around the US. I also like hearing from other Car Wash enthusiasts/owners. When I was 6, my interest in elevators started and when I was 14, I joined the elevator community.
As of today, I film Car Washes, Elevators, Escalators, Trains and hockey games.
*NOTE* I remove any irrelevant or stupid comments. THINK before you post. :) .
And now, as of June 10, I’m now on Flickr! Feel free to follow me and stay updated on new car wash photos!

November 2024 RETAKE: Sparkle Clean Car Wash: Meredith Site
This is part 8 of my New Hampshire trip series.
I wanted to do a retake of the mid-2000’s AquaJet with the Tech 21 on board dryers, but after seeing a review stating that it broke down in someone, I didn’t want to risk having a SECOND wash failing on us. So I came back to Sparkle Clean to do a revisit.
So far, nothing has changed to this wash since I was last here. It’s a 24/7 mini tunnel wash that is attended on certain hours, but after that it’s completely unattended! There are also multiple back-out self service bays here, and those are alongside the tunnel wash onto the right.
The equipment is mainly Belanger, with the conveyor, multi-purpose arch, a Twin Wave mitter, Gyro Wraps and ro...

This is part 6 of my New Hampshire trip series. After that HILARIOUS epic fail at the G5, we needed to rinse off the soap that was still all over our car. With no time for any other options, a touch free rinsing at Lake Street was the only option, which was the opportunity for me to get an outside video of it! I did an outside video of this wash doing the soft touch cycle at night, but that was...

This is part 5 of my New Hampshire trip series, and quite possibly the funniest fail that has ever happened to me on this channel. In my entire life of enjoying and filming car washes, there have been a handful that just called it quits before it was finished, resulting in us getting a refund or the wash quickly gets reset. Now this time, it turns out it just wasn’t the wash that this “glitch” ...

This is part 4 of my New Hampshire trip series. Here is yet another wash that I didn’t get to do when I went up to NH last year. I thought my video of the year previously before of this wash was pretty good, so I didn’t come back. But this year, I felt like I needed to come back as it has been a while. Like Tenney Mountain and New Hampton’s Mobil stations, this one is owned by ENG, the company ...

So I had to edit both videos in iMovie and if I don’t upload the video in time, both clips will have to be redownloaded from iCloud. And then it’ll absolutely obliterate my storage on my phone. Hope you all understand! After filming Triple Play’s Sout...

Here is part 3 of my New Hampshire trip series. Now this is a wash that I wasn’t able to do last year, as both bays were closed for maintenance! It’s been 2-3 years since I last filmed this wash, but I felt like it was still time for an updated take of this wash. Maps and the building itself here state that the car wash is called “Tenney Mountain Car Wash”, and that is the name, but this wash i...

Haven’t filmed this wash in like 2 years, so I felt like I needed to get a retake of this wash. I’m too lazy to write a full description, but I will tell you some info about what this place was before. Here it goes. This particular gas station used to be under the brand, “Global”. It had a small c-store, a couple gas pumps, 2 self service bays (that you have to back out of to exit) and a tunnel...

After almost 4 years, I finally got to do a retake of Prestige’s longest tunnel wash that they have! This is their Medford location, a suburb of Boston MA. As stated in the video of the Melrose site, this location and the ones in Watertown, Waltham and Melrose were all Randy’s locations at one point. This site here wasn’t bought by Prestige until mid-late 2019. However, Randy’s did do a few upd...

Here is a 2024 retake of quite possibly, the worst Prestige location that I’ve gone through. As you all know, there used to be a chain of exterior tunnel washes in the suburbs of Boston, Randy’s Car Washes. They had 4 locations. Waltham, Watertown, Melrose and Medford. They were all owned and operated under the Randy’s name, until all 4 locations were sold to Prestige. However, each site was bo...

As stated in the video description of the Cube that is also here, most Cumberland Farms AutoSpa sites here in New England have Belanger systems, with one featuring a Freestyler and a Kondor, with many others having Cubes and Kondors. There is one to my knowledge that has 2 Kondors, no soft touch bay, and the...

The Car Wash / Elevator Fanatic never stops cooking
Seeing how Razors are everywhere for you but they all do an impressive job, I think I know what's the most reliable sustem
Razor with onboard dryers, that's a first for me
I had wash malfunction on me a week ago and it left trifoam all over my car
"This is all I have" ahh car wash
It was a W move for them to refund you tho
@@TheCarWashSouthernerthankfully, i came back a few days afterwards and the water controller was back up and running. The wash did a complete cycle, but didn’t apply the Ceramic, as that was an empty pass.
Man, they could of used the spring water inside of the store! LMAO!
LMFAO
And before anyone says it, yes, I did manage to go back to this wash when the water was back up and running, and filmed the wash doing a complete cycle.
Why did you not show the outside of the car when finished?
I normally don’t do that, but I do write a description that mentions how well the wash did.
I've never seen Washworld Power Towers paired up with a Laserwash before.
When programmed properly and is well maintained, these Laserwash G5's can be pretty solid systems. I like how the Max Air dryers started up instantly after the machine went forward for the spot free rinse cycle with the overhead applicators that way it can give a slow forward and backward pass for extra drying time.
Not the black marks on the wash arm Nice to see a G5 having a good chemistry and being good at getting soap off tho
I don’t care if this did a great job of cleaning. To replaced a Laserwash 4000 with this is a garbage move in my opinion. They should of went with a 360 plus or any Wash world Razor.
I agree!
Something you might like to know the laserwash 360 on 2nd Street Alltown is replaced with a Washworld Profile APEX. I signed up for the unlimited wash club at that Alltown and I got an email about it. It said that it should be completed by the 16th of November. I'm curious to check that out when it is done. I am curious why they replaced the Laserwash as it was extremely reliable!
Wait, a APEX Profile?! How did you know it was an APEX? I’m very curious.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 The email said it will provide a touch less and soft touch functionality. And had a picture of an APEX profile. You can send me a message if you want to see the email. I also took pictures of the 360 that they removed. Car Wash Pros is doing the install. They are adding Graphene and Vision Clear.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 So the email I got said the new equipment will feature touch free and soft touch functionality. Car Wash Pros is doing the install and the email showed a picture of a APEX Profile. I also took some pictures of the 360 as they removed it. It looks like they may be keeping it for a used unit at another site ( The air cannons do not look like they will be reused they and in really bad shape Lots of rust ). You can send me a message if you want to see the email and pictures I took.
It's getting harder to find G5s nowadays since most of them are getting replaced
I think the Melrose location needs a makeover
Definitely!
May want to find another wash. Maybe a Golden Nozzel Car Wash or something like that?
Funny you say that because I’m currently uploading a Golden Nozzle location that I retook in Wakefield! 😂
@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 Nice! Also, remember that other location in Gardner, Massachusetts, when it used to be a Belanger mini tunnel when Georgef551 filmed it?
@@ryanthenascarguy4871yes! That is a golden nozzle location now. I filmed it a few years ago.
The Windshear can stay, but the other old Protovest contour unit needs to go. I bet a helping of Sonny's Dryers would do the trick. Red ones would do well here.
Definitely! But I would also replace the WindShear dryer. Since ProtoVest went out of business, and there probably aren’t any parts to repair it, I’d just put in more Sonny’s dryers.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 True that!
This Cube looks to run very smooth and the brushes are at just the right distance in my opinion. This one was fine tuned pretty good. I understand this machine suffers from quality issues and requires alot of attention to keep running good. Its like the BMW of car washes.
I agree with your statement! This one runs pretty good and does a nice job.
Did Belanger discontinued the Cube
Not sure.
It’s not on their website anymore so it’s quite possible
@@MASTERNCprobably a good thing, the Cube was (and still is) a awful machine. They can be great systems, but I’ve heard and seen them bend license plates.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433and the freestylers are super aggressive
Sounds like the owner of this location and that in South Attleboro was a bright, good man bringing good business and happy customers. RIP. At least he carries on a good legacy, and this video is proof of it.
Those dryers took 5 to 10 business days to get up to speed 😂
Everything in this tunnel should be replaced since it's all worn out
Question, on my Mr. Wizard Car Wash video, what was the system I filmed?
AVW.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 Thanks!
Dryers really can make or break a $25 car wash
Hope you got the spots off
Close but they were made in 1994! It was the same year the MBTA Got their 2nd Order of TMC RTS Buses! These didn’t go in2 Passenger service until December 16th 1994!
Thanks!
Clean car wash
5:12 EPIC STARTUP
Hey man, I found a full service car wash you might find interesting. South Shore Car Wash Inc. 384 Centre St, Quincy, MA 02169. According to Google Images, looks like this place has/ had a Sherman trapezoid dryer and an Infinity Dryer. Not sure if you are able to get there, but this address is here just in case! I am not sure of any updates.
I hope to get there very soon!
I have some very exciting news. I just went there, AND THE DRYERS ARE STILL THERE!!!
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 OH GOD!!!!!!!!! When do you think you will post the video? (Take your time if it is a while).
I have quite a few videos in my backlog I need to upload first, but I will get to it soon!
Tri foam looks like pre soak so white
Umm, no?
I like these systems!
6:45 Laserdri: if you're saying the Laserdri is not needed, why am I here?! Get me out of here! The screeching sound is because of the old belts on the belt-driven motors
I believe those wraps are Hanna/HSI since Sherman wraps don’t use that arm design.
Yeah, I’m not 100% sure if those are Sherman.
Better than Today's Car Wash
I live in Burlington. Any tocuhless car washes in the area you can recommend?
The touch free wash at King Trition in Wilmington seems to be the best option. There are a set of touchless bays at Prestige in Burlington, but those are ridiculously overpriced and don’t do that well.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 Yeah someone in the reviews said the Prestige in Burlington does not have dryers. Didn't know the Triton in Wilmington has touchless, will check it out thanks.
@@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433 Hi there again. I tried King Triton touchless twice but it is very ineffective at cleaning wheels and tires. Maybe this is just a general limitation of touchless. What would you recommend for a tunnel car wash in the same area? Would KT still be the best for that?
Golden Nozzle in Wilmington.
Happy to have you, thanks for stopping by!
This is the second setup ive seen an IBA have airstreams. This is awesome
I actually think this is the first on RUclips to see an Airstream model that was actually meant as a drive-through dryer. Although, yes, Airstreams in general with IBA's are super rare! The others (California Car Washes, and Car Wash Features/ United States Car Wash Channel) I believe were converted from tunnels. This one, on the other hand, used to be with an old Southern Pride machine.
@@kingcarwashnfansdrivesetc8364 You’re definitely right. The other video was a soft gloss max with these ultra rare airstream dryers. That was a tunnel convertered to an IBA. On the other hand, this one is in a IBA bay. Wonder if they dropped down when the southern pride was in action.
@@burrntpot192 Definitely at some point a long time ago.
Car wash dryers from the matrix
WHAT THE, WHERE IS THIS?!
Marlborough MA!
0:21 how loud 7-11: Yes
Fun tip: hybrids and EVs get half off the top exterior wash (or at least used to if they don’t anymore)
Looks like another goated car wash chain, also you're close to 2k subs 👀
