Mark VII AquaJet GTO-700 Car Wash at Kirkwood Phillips 66

This one's dedicated to Ronald Hughes from Montreal. Thanks for your loyal viewership!
Anyway, I get tons of requests to film Mark VII machines, so naturally I was thrilled when Patrick and I accidentally stumbled on one at a Phillips 66 station outside of Kirkwood, MO. The manager at this location was absolutely wonderful. She felt so badly that I didn't have the right change to buy a wash at the machine (and then wasn't given the option to buy one at a gas pump) that she gave me the top wash for free. Talk about generous! Overall, I was extremely happy with my visit and would highly recommend this gas station.

UPDATE: This system has been ripped out and was converted into a Sonny’s mini tunnel. You might want to check it out.

[@carwashnews]

Great video and nice wash!! The operator must take good care of it as it has many upgrade features on the system via e-chain and non oscillating top blaster. Also another thing making this wash special is that it does a very rare 2 coating pass of presoak. Very rare on mark 7s as they are designed to use more chemistry/soap in one pass resulting in quicker washes.. Great video!!

[@Rodj12341]

That's because this is a different model. This is a GTO-700.

[@Thestuffguy1]

Amazing video and I love your car wash vids so much!! Keep up the good work !!

[@amboyle1417]

I was looking at this car wash on google maps and they completely remodeled it. Can you please do a revisit.

[@elilovestrainsplanesmore1101]

Your videos are great keep making videos of carwashes !

[@j3videos633]

I like those dryers

[@adelaideautowashes]

The machine pumps air through all the water sprayers to make sure theres no water in them that can leak out and drip on the vehicle that is being dried.

[@TheSonic1685]

Back when I was 4 I used to have HUGE obsessions with car washes (I am autistic which might be the explanation). Got me into trouble sometimes (And my dad). Post a reply if you have or had an obsession with car washes as well.

[@jacobsworld7573]

So do I!

[@watsonjason1981]

very powerful dryers in this wash

[@blazebrodypc2006official]

This car wash was replaced with a mini Sonny’s tunnel a few years ago.

[@fansgalorellc621]

I remember a sheetz we used to stop at all the time near a Church we went to had this car wash expect In blue. Amazing car wash! And I love the way the dryers start up! It's gone now and there's a crappy laserwash that is always not working.

[@ryanwagner1831]

That sucks!

[@fansgalorellc621]

***** Sure does! Luckily, they replaced the laserwash with an wash world system.

[@ryanwagner1831]

great good to know!

[@fansgalorellc621]

***** I agree! That Laserwash was always on the fritz! It only worked right less than 5 times.

[@laylalowery9047]

The dryer sounds make me cool

[@SamSitar]

this carwash is very thorough. lots of water spraying around too.

[@laylalowery9047]

Nice dryer sounds

[@Rozgreez562]

I'll admit, I prefer the MarkVll in general, they are touchless other than the wheel scrubs and seem to do a decent job. When they are new or just serviced, everything works nicely. But I watched several of your videos and its interesting to see the designs of an automated car wash out there. The Malfunction car wash was comical.

[@gradymcclintock3766]

Not all mark 7s are touchless

[@jakeyboy1027]

1. Undercarriage 2. Presoak 3. Wheel scrubbers 4. High pressure rinse 5. Tri foam 6. High pressure rinse 7. Spot free rinse 8. Dry

[@CrestwoodRocks]

well if a new Car Wash goes into that site, Hopefully they will put in a new Mark VII Softwash XT

[@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod]

Do they still make these GTO GT the GT has three nozzles things and the GTO has a straight boom with presoak and high pressure on the Same thing and are they still making these but could you do a revisit please it did a good job and the pay station was laserlink

[@CrestwoodRocks]

The new ones are called Mark VII Aquajet XT

[@elilovestrainsplanesmore1101]

I see you went over some railroad tracks in this video. Any idea what railroad it is?. Also very nice carwash I wish I lived close to one of these systems

[@shadowduck02]

Looks to be UP track.

[@1549413]

Ronald says thank you so much. He's been away for a while. Cheers!

[@christinagoodescarwashvlog4850]

There's a car wash at the Waterway Gas and Wash on MO 366 and Creighton drive in Shrewsbury MO.

[@christinagoodescarwashvlog4850]

It's part of a BP Gas Station and it's called "Waterway Car Wash" on Watson Road.

[@christinagoodescarwashvlog4850]

Never mind; you've already been through it.

[@laylalowery9047]

Those are the dryers that we have at wave carwash

[@thewildeeper]

This system is at almost all of the car washes in my area...

[@TheElevatorChannel]

These things aren't exactly rare, but for some reason I don't come across them very often at all. There's also the possibility that most of the car washes around you are owned by the same person/company. For example, in Jefferson City I know of 2 owners who operate 3 car washes each. In both cases, all 3 have the exact same system.

[@AdamsCarWashVids]

+The Elevator Channel the high pressure system is purging its self to prevent the pipes freasing and cracking

[@jaysonburns9848]

+The Elevator Channel is this true in Jefferson city

[@noahandrewsandrews7830]

What's the name of the song that you used at the ending of the video?

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

It's not uncommon to find Dryers on at the same time as a rinse. I've seen it on LaserWash 360 here in New Zealand.

[@terrysmith8963]

that's called flash dry

[@TheGamerWithMore]

Happens here in South Australia on the WashWorld Lazer wash systems.

[@02hockeystick19]

This is actually not a flash dry. The reason the water was spraying on this machine was to clear the lines of water so it wouldn't drip on the car while drying.

[@mpollux2]

Hey, i don't mean to bother you- but i'm very OCD with titling... can you please change it to GTO-700? It has a hyphen in the model name.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Lol, no problem. At least I identified the right model for once :)

[@mpollux2]

Hahahah thanks!

Car Wash Studios Q

[@georgef551]

I got one awhile ago. They are a good system, if programmed right. Winchendon: Toy Town Mark VII Car Wash, Water Street (Downtown)

[@mpollux2]

Cleaning quality wise- yes- but uptime wise, no. These things are very over engineered, and have a lot of downtime, much like the PDQ LaserWash G5 & G5-S

[@georgef551]

Car Wash Studios The dryer on the one I found is terrible. Goes at normal speed, so the car is wet after it's done.

[@mpollux2]

Exactly, I don't know why Mark VII made that the default dryer speed...

[@georgef551]

Car Wash Studios I can sum it up in tree words: CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! :)

It's by the intersection of Big Bend and S Geyer Rd.
