Sonny's Tunnel Car Wash - Phillips 66, Lake St Louis MO

Today, we venture to Lake St. Louis, MO (a distant suburb of St. Louis) to experience a really neat tunnel wash. This Phillips 66 is right off of Interstate 64. The whole place looks brand new and is in excellent condition. Follow me on:

Looks like you found a fairly rare hybrid Sonny’s tunnel. Both friction and touch free. Odd that there were no sets of wraps.

0:00 If you all look on the right, you can see The Best Car Wash with the PDQ LaserWash 360 and PDQ Tandem The Elevator Channel filmed in April 2015!

[@kaikono1146]

+The Elevator channel the reason the attendant put that wiper bag on the rear windshield wiper is so the mitter curtain and / or wrap arounds dont rip the wiper blade off

[@carwashslayer4235]

Simoniz is the chemistry and its awesome. Pronounced (Simon-Eyes)

[@ryanthenascarguy4871]

Motorists wise Simoniz, right?

[@carwashslayer4235]

@@ryanthenascarguy4871 Yes thats right

[@730dayana]

Awsome system I love tuneless car washes

[@windlockatc]

Sonny's has the BEST equipment in my opinion.

[@gredinfriess1782]

Gredin friess Chris is my favourite car wash video you went through I like this car wash video that you went through that's my favourite car wash video

[@zdplays4085]

The reason why it is required put a wrapper on the windshield wiper is because all Sonny's car washes tend to damage the back wiper and the bag somehow reduces the chance.

[@ThatHFTGuy]

$9 for the best wash at a tunnel is awesome!! I pay $12-$18 for the best at a tunnel!!

[@lonewolfette]

That was a bag on the rear wiper. The tunnel washes around here do that & most people then end up driving around with it on. And they stack the vehicles in pretty tight, too.

[@topgear806]

me and my friends would've taken a 2008 Scion xb to the sonny's tunnel car wash at the phillips 66 gas station in lake st louis mo.

[@anthonyhitchings6909]

Great video nice 👍

[@jasonervoes1326]

Great video Does any of these automatic car washes have free vacuums?

[@ArtiePenguin1]

Nice camera layout. Could you make a quick video showing how you set it up. I need to get something like that. Where did you buy it from?

[@carwashnews]

This is not a MacNeil carwash. This is a sonnys tunnel. That's also a very unique layout to. Never seen one like that before. And nice video!

[@JimmyFlygare]

He already fixed the title

[@conniezheng4733]

the title says sonnys okay

[@connorerickson6239]

Those dryers are loud and sound awsome?!!

[@thewildeeper]

The rear wiper is taped to the car, so that the brushes that move back and forth don't get caught on (and possibly break) the wiper.

[@QuietSundayLibrary]

Strange seeing the attendant at what would appear to be an otherwise automated car wash.

[@potluckfishing]

I'd love to know how the machine knew what you purchased...must be some number plate regonition system...seeing as a lot of cars go through at the same time

[@DeLuxeCarwashchannel]

nice carwash

[@rodacjk44444]

That car wash is older then u might think. Love the new camera layout

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@EvanStoneProductions]

kind of like the Rio in Fredericksburg, VA

[@screamingtomatoes8178]

The thing that goes back and forth are mitters

[@cgluigiyt]

Sonny's SFM-807 side to side mitter

[@caleblondon2001]

Hey the walmart car wash (AKA best) has a laserwash 360 and a tandem.

[@Lawnprohenry]

do u live in st.louis cuz i live by there not telling where but i live buy their

[@carselevators930]

What Camera did you use for the dash cam?

[@BrandonLe621]

A dash cam. DUH

[@georgef551]

Funny how I Google Maps for car washes here, none exist within 30 miles. Of course, I've found several simply by driving.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

The problem I've found is that many gas stations with car washes aren't properly tagged. Usually, if I don't find any car washes in the area, I look up gas stations and check them out individually (via street view/satellite).

[@georgef551]

Ahh, yeah, that's a good way to go about it.

[@TheCeki1982]

***** This installation even hasn't got a top brush => bad idea.

[@benschwab3592]

Palo Alto Nooo.....

[@LordWormx420x]

Damn those high pressure washers in the beginning in the middle of the tunnel are moving way too fast they should probably be going half the speed, bet they go through hoses like crazy from that amount of friction.

[@brendanhancock]

I just realize that I saw another car wash with another gas station ***** Could You film the other one because I saw 2 Automatics

[@firealarmmadness6905]

It has a laserwash 360 and a tandem. They are both made by PDQ

[@TheElevatorChannel]

FireAlarm madness Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to stop by and check it out next time I'm out that way.

[@melissaconnor9638]

FireAlarm madness .

[@chaoszombie9995]

The reason the guy put a plastic cover on the rear window wiper is because the high pressure water scratches plastic

[@urgbos]

Can you show us the results of the wash next time?

[@TheElevatorChannel]

I'm going to make sure to do that whenever possible from now on.

[@urgbos]

***** Sounds good.

[@mpollux2]

By the way, Simoniz (As you pronounced "Simonooze") is a Chemical company

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Lol, I saw it out of the corner of my eye at the last second. Thanks for the info.

[@TheCarWashChannel]

They're even in the Dictionary!

[@ryanthenascarguy4871]

Simoniz is the best

[@lormarina]

I just uploaded a car wash video.

[@TrevorMack232]

that wash was to fast wow

[@mpollux2]

As Riley (carwashnews) Pointed out, this is NOT MacNeil equipment!! It's Sonny's Equipment which is made right here in the state of florida! How on earth would you think this is MacNeil equipment?!

[@TheElevatorChannel]

My knowledge of tunnel systems is limited at best. The only two other ones I've filmed were MacNeil, and they had that same mirror over the entrance with the "tire here" sticker. I saw that and took a guess. Any tips on how to identify one from the other?

[@mpollux2]

***** well, some tunnels are as i like to call "Frankenwashes" because they have alot of different equipment in them. so its really hard to tell on all of the stuff.

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

***** look up the Sonny's KZbin channel, you'll find lots of stuff about there equipment.

[@SFCarWashChannel]

Look at the S-POD especially. All car washes should have them.

[@conniezheng4733]

the title says sonnys okay

[@Jen6374]

I hate those with the track that pulls you

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

First mitter the SFM807 - pendulum combo.

1:21 1:21.

[@garrettfornea1088]

Mitters and rockers but no wraps? Were the people who designed this tunnel on drugs?

[@superlu1gi527]

Garrett Fornea Yes

[@superlu1gi527]

Rockers are technically brushes.

[@garrettfornea1088]

Well they are, but they don't wrap around the front and back like wraps do. Even van washers don't. You really want to get that front and back cleaning. Don't get me wrong, I view rockers as essential for cleaning the lower sides of the car, but wraps are even more essential in my opinion.

[@superlu1gi527]

Garrett Fornea True.

[@franciscoc4063]

!?

[@gredinfriess1782]

Gredin friess I like the title car washes with the conveyor system what's the precious I like the conveyor car washes with the brushes a katana washes with the conveyor system with the brushes I like the car washes with the brushes like the car washes with the brushes internal systems I like the car washes with the tunnel
