  • Here's my first ever car wash video at a landmark! As far as gas stations go, this is about as neat as it gets. They had a very well maintained PDQ Tandem system.

    the first thing that sprayed you from the front was a bug prep that well, kills bugs.

    That's what makes this a landmark (if you noticed, this is a BP station now). Back when they were still around, this was the largest Amoco sign in the world. Apparently BP let them keep it since it's a local landmark. Now, it's the only maintained Amoco sign left in the world.

    Hi Jacob. Hope all is well with you and your family too. Great video. Awesome automatic car wash. The nerve of that guy behind you laughing at you. Ít's just pure misery and pity jealousy on his part. I don't see him have the guts to do what you're doing.

    Seeing this gas station was one of the highlights of my recent trip to St. Louis. Have you heard that BP is going to be bringing the Amoco brand back in certain markets? Hopefully this station is earmarked for conversion back to Amoco.

    Hey Jacob. I've never seen a PDQ Tandem car wash system before so i'm excited to see one in real life. This is just like the one in Jefferson city except the brushes and the left wall is the difference between the two systems.

  • @cosmoreed3461
    @cosmoreed3461 10 лет назад +8

    Did you know that the tandem's top brush has a camera to keep it from going into an open bed of a pickup truck so it switches to high pressurized ocelating sprayers

      ***** They both have their strengths. Out of personal preference, I find that friction washes (such as the Ryko Softgloss) seem to do the best with truly dirty cars.

    @nathanrichards7930 4 года назад

    Guess what, 1, Amoco was revived by BP, and 2, this station with the car wash was reverted back to the Amoco, and the big sign recieved a update to reflect the brand's revival.

    That payment station runs Windows Embedded CE. The unnecessary noises that you hear throughout the transaction kind of give it away.

    • @TheGamerWithMore
      @TheGamerWithMore 7 лет назад +2

      To correct you, it runs WinCE 5.0 with a Compact Flash card as the storage medium.
      I actually have a copy of the PDQ software for WinCE6.0 (yes, theres a 6.0 version) and it seems to work in my WinCE 5.0 emulator.
      I know this since you can find PDQ systems with insecure username and passwords on the internet.

    Be sure it's really not worth it.
    There is a third $14 wash, while a tad steep, it does give you a bit more.
    That would be funny. I think a Pirate Wash down there is over $10, but gives you less than this did.
