For anyone that's live in kowloon side, I take my car to a shop in Sun Po Kong for car wash. They use pressure jet and hand+airgun dry. Thus, they have pressure jet for undercar as well... I buy "coupons" from them, cost me around $59 each

Don't know about the car wash facility in Hong Kong, but I would definitely stay away from the car wash in USA.
Since you guys own a E60 in Hong Kong (some with mods), not cheap in terms of Hong Kong dollars (not an average middle class citizen in Hong Kong can afford), I would imagine that you should be able to wash your cars outside your house. Not need to visit the car wash facility unless you have no time to do so or don't like to do that yourself.

Why are you picking on me
I live in an appartment so my car is in the garage so no driveway unlike Canada or the States. I pay 280 HKD each month and someone will wash my car for me everyday, so I don't need to do it on days when it is 30 degrees outside.
I also will detail the car every two months, I use Challenger and the job is ok by my standard. I am not picky as long as I don't need to do it
same goes for cooking.

I think they do let your rent the loaner....if I remember correctly. Maybe I am wrong.

They will laugh at you even harder.Actually now you brought it up, the weather is great right now for going to that BBQ place because if memories serves me correctly, that place is near the sea and those breeze are quite strong.

Hey gf366, where is that place you are talking about? I think I wanted a wash in between those detailing session as sometimes the car gets real dirty and too much brake dust, plus those ah sum doesn't do the best job on the body and wheels they only clean the windows well.
Any other place where you can get a good wash for a good price.
