Terrible Ryko Softgloss XS Car Wash - Sunset Hills, MO

  • I wonder if there's actually any difference between the top and bottom wash. I can never remember getting so little out of a $10 car wash. To make matters worse, it didn't even cover the basics. The presoak barely even touched the top of the car, the tire scrubber scrubbed my door, there was no spot free rinse, and the dryer was completely worthless. I can tell you one thing- I'll never come back here!
    What do you think? Is this the worst deal I've ever gotten?

    Wow.
    Makes the $14 wash at Tidal Wave (Ayer, MA) seem like a steal.

    Just looked this place up on Google Maps, and there was a Wesumat Soft Wash there a year or two prior to the recording to this video! It was replaced with this XS (which was definitely bought used) sometime between 2012 to 2014. As of September 2018 the wash is still there.

    Absolutely! Not only is it the worst deal, your car probably didn't come out too clean. Come on I mean there are $7 washes that at least include tri foam and some form of a clear coat. But simply a weak coating of presoak and water obviously doesn't do justice for a $10 wash. I'd be amused to see what the basic wash had to offer! Probably everything you got minus the buffed out door from the wheel buffer. Keep the great videos coming though!

    Your're an absolute madman for driving you car into this. Poorly maintained car washes are an immense risk for your paint. If it rubbs the dirt in its brushes over your paint you will get a lot of scratches.

    This what I call a poorly maintained car wash system. I've been to Ryko systems in the past and they never ran like this, they actually ran better. Either the Ford dealership frequently using it or the owners didn't properly maintained this car wash.

  • @TheeMentalNomad
    @TheeMentalNomad 6 років тому +2

    Each carwash is completely programmable to reflect the desired options/wash configuration desired by the company who owns it. Also, poor maintenance or neglect by the retailer plays a factor. I feel It is unfair to demean the carwash manufacturer in this instance

  • @LiftRider24
    @LiftRider24 2 роки тому +1

    This happened to me as well. I visited this Laserwash 4000 with newer signage. The whole front panel was popped completely off and I was having doubts about visiting this thing. But I decided to give it a chance, and it ended up in disaster. The wash was $14 (Which is way more expensive then this). All it did was a couple passes of presoak, high pressure rinse, tri foam, the hot lava foam and high pressure rinse and that was it. No spotfree or clear coat. And The dryers turned off when I was halfway through. I might have to video tape it because it was horrible.

  • @jesseg1289

  • @elevatordailies
    @elevatordailies 9 років тому +2

    My last experience with a Ryko car wash was not good either. More spots after the wash than before. A basic Laserwash or one from Mark VII does a better job. I have been to a Ryko touch-free wash with better results. I think PDQ does the best job of any car wash. Wish they would bring back the Vortex dryer system, super awesome.

  • @thecarwashesandmorechannel2892
    @thecarwashesandmorechannel2892 11 місяців тому

    At one time this had a Mark VII from the signage. Pretty interesting. I like the XS series for its simplicity and that it really doesn't take that much to maintain as long as you take care of it, unlike this wash. You can even see the old Mark VII E-Chain holder to the right at 1:22

    • @TheElevatorChannel
      @TheElevatorChannel  10 років тому +2

      It was incredibly bad. I'm not sure how that wash cycle could have been made any shorter (within reason), so there must be no difference at all between the three wash options. My car looked terrible after this wash. The lack of spot-free water and the useless dryers were a lovely combination. At least I can say that the whole purpose of this visit was for the video, and it certainly made for an interesting one.

    • @Rodj12341

    • @mpollux2
      @mpollux2 10 років тому +1

      ***** I Guess it doesn't include the "Wheel-Scrub". Also It most likely doesn't include the clearcoat protectant, which didn't sheet or bead whatsoever so i'm guessing the owner is diluting it to almost nothing. This wash probably costs $.10 worth of chemicals, water and electricity, so this is absolutely shocking.
