PDQ Tandem Car Wash at Landmark Amoco Station, St Louis, MO

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.

That AMOCO sign is HUGE! What a cool car wash!

[@Gosh_Josh]

It's the world's largest

[@Ianeverettatfullsail]

I used to work there and know the owner there. Glad you had a great experience!

I love your car and the car is the best

[@carwashcrazy2009]

Hey can you do a revisit of this site? I saw on street view that they replaced the machine with a new Tamdem Surfline

[@nardydegeorge5144]

best landmark ever

[@jasonervoes1326]

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.

[@Coolerics2011]

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

[@TheElevatorChannel]

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.

[@crapper1]

Wow very well done carwash

[@carwashchannel]

I love the video my brother and I are re filming the tandem next time we are St. Louis

[@letseeitplease]

i enjoyed watching that car wash i clicked the subscribe button just now,what a great informative video,thanks for sharing your carwash experience with us on youtube,

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

This has since been replaced with a Tandem SurfLine! You should check it out.

[@thischanneldoesntgetusedoften]

I Alr told him I saw it on Street View

[@trevorjkubiak]

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.

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

It's true: www.bp.com/en_us/bp-us/media-room/press-releases/bp-brings-back-amoco-brand-for-us-fuel-network.html

[@starseeker27]

I miss them old amoco signs

[@bradenrobison1969]

It's pretty neat how it uses the blasters in the wheel brushes to do the under-carriage.

[@filmer765]

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.

[@thewildeeper]

I miss Amoco :( Also, lol at the ending!

[@johnsmithbravada5676]

There was a big Amoco sign at Exit 76 near I-85 in Salisbury

[@benschwab3592]

When you spoke about the sign being functional what exactly did you mean by that? Thanks!

[@TheElevatorChannel]

I've been thinking of having my parents stay there when they come to visit me some time. If I can get that to work out, I'll try my best to do a hotel tour.

[@iantan9648]

You should have been peek up that leaf on your window lol haha

[@ir10031981]

A Moco is spanish for A Booger. LOL! RIP Amoco, I miss seeing the Amoco sign, I grew up in the Chicago area. It's a shame it went defunct around 2002.

[@baedenwilliams8291]

Update: ITS BACK!

[@DeLuxeCarwashchannel]

You should revisit this place I recently drove by it and now it has a newer protouch tandem in it

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

It actually has a Tandem SurfLine in it now.

[@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod]

I always enjoy watching your videos even the car wash ones but strange it says no dually pick ups when tandems can accommodate them be able to wash them to

[@cosmoreed3461]

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

[@TheElevatorChannel]

That's really neat! I'll have to try going through one in a truck some time.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

***** 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.

[@OsbornTramain]

wow, this is a old video...so much has changed....Amoco is back selling gasoline in the USA and there are quite a few of them open and selling gas......who'd ever think that in 2013?

[@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod]

Did a great job with the brushes cleaning your car tri foam and flash dry and extra dry Time but I don't understand why it wont let dual wheel pickups the tandem was designed for dualies to

[@nathanrichards7930]

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.

[@catherinebenson3525]

We have a amoco by my future high school and it has the original livery

[@armron94]

There is a Amoco in Grainger / Mishawaka Indiana area Tyler Melton YM. 4/12/2019

[@tylerp8044]

Can you revisit they have a tandem surfline

[@curilion191]

???please don't be surprised if i can not so good english.this video is very nice.It´s nice when a people write in german.

[@CrestwoodRocks]

Tandem Ritetouch (newer ones are named ProTouch Tandem)

[@TheElevatorChannel]

I'll guarantee that if I ever find a $14 wash, I'll attempt to do your pirate routine on the spot.

[@georgef551]

That's quite generous for $11. Can't say that about either $14 wash I've been to.

[@liljayyboi2]

Amoco is slowly coming back Jacob.

[@josetrujillo8162]

Please pull forward to the next passion

[@putty1574]

Hm, I never knew anything about that gigantic Amoco sign. Interesting.

[@mpollux2]

i miss amoco... they were always cheap and they had awesome vintage Ryko's that were well maintained ;'(

[@andrewasbra5996]

what? i did not no that

[@DeLuxeCarwashchannel]

did the carwash do a good job

[@putty1574]

When was this recorded?

[@thischanneldoesntgetusedoften]

I may resemble that system in Roblox since it was replaced by a Tandem Surfline and got painted blue even while it was still a tandem

[@m.r.newton]

the elevator channel i'm going to upload the tandem i went through last night.

[@midsouthelevators]

woah Amoco is still around? had NO idea we lost them to BP

[@inactivechannel7029]

This is actually a Tandem RiteTouch.

[@SFCarWashChannel]

This is one of only 2 Tandem units that I know of that don't use the blue/black brush color scheme. One uses red/black brushes and the other is this one.

[@thischanneldoesntgetusedoften]

Lots of them that dont use blue are at HEB stations

[@TheCarWashChannel]

If you actually listen closely, you can hear the machine say "Go" when you're entering, have a bong noise along with "Exit".

[@christinagoodescarwashvlog4850]

It says "forward" instead of "go."

[@NEPatriot]

You sure can't miss that station on the road. Imagine the road closures if that AMOCO sign had to switch to BP?

[@TheHowToTubeTutorial]

The product that the front brush was spraying was bug prep or bug remover.

[@togetcloser]

what is the best system so far? I have seen a car wash that wash your car under, that is the worst part, ccould cause rust.

Just a few weeks ago.

[@22408aaron]

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

[@TheGamerWithMore]

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.

[@CrestwoodRocks]

I looked at Google Earth. I think this gas station has blue brushes now

Oh Really? I thought it was a protouch?

[@DerangedSloth555]

*drives out of car wash* where did that come from?

[@georgef551]

Lol. 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.

[@TheElevatorPlanet]

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

I don't like those types of machines. Those big rolls have dirt from previous cars. The micro dirt on them carry sand like material that scratches your car's paint. The ones with the water pressure nozzle is much better and never touch your car.
