Default Self serve car wash (Brisbane)

Does anyone know where I can find a decent self serve car wash in the Brisbane area? Preferably south-east-ish.

I went for a cruise recently and could not spot even one :

Yeah, it's actually "Castlemaine XXXX", it originated in Victoria in well, strike me dead, Castlemaine. But you idiots called it XXX.


At least we know how many letters there are.

I used to go there, until I had words with a guy who ran it. I use the one near that "Early spares" place that has the couple of GT 40th anniversaries out the front, accross the highway from the Hyperdome.
And good way to open a thread that was last seen two years ago, I think its one of the oldest Ive seen, lol.

Nice, nice .....
But who reopened this thread after two years hibernation? ME
And what was my question?
Is there self car wash around Manly, Sydney, NSW?

Or should I start my own topic about it?

Cheers

Unless you can get a mod to alter the title, a lot of people from Sydney wont click the thread as it says Brisbane.

Id still say the best one is going to be in Qld somewhere, it certainly wont be in NSW.
