New PDQ Tandem Surfline - Giant Amoco, St Louis (2021 Revisit)

It's fancy, thorough, fun to watch, and... really really expensive. But I enjoyed going back to the most iconic gas station in St Louis to check out their new car wash system. As a bonus, this station is an actual Amoco now. BP brought the brand back and naturally made this station one of the first franchisees. They even restored the giant sign.
Please note - I am aware the audio is a little wonky. I have a new camera on order to replace my set of aging Sonys but it has not yet arrived.

You are my inspiration for washes! You are by far the best wash filmer on youtube! I remember I first got into carwashes when I was 3 years old because of you!

[@inactivechannel7029]

EXACT same thing here!

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

$20 is nothing. Some car washes near me cost $25 or even $30 for the top wash! Glad to see another car wash video!

Nice video. I hope the Amoco brand makes its way out to the northwest. Very cool car wash. I like all the lights. Have a safe and happy 2021 Jacob.

Me too! They remind me of those cool RGB lights you can get on gaming PCs.

[@eclipsemoon2b]

They need to open a car wash like the ones they have in Florida. Full body detail with coffee and bagel shop while you wait. It’s spectacular! And they do a really great job!

[@SamSitar]

how does your car go through the wash without you?

[@eclipsemoon2b]

@@SamSitar it’s on tracks. The team meets it at the end , then details it from the outside in. You can’t seriously tell me you’ve never seen a car wash that’s been on tracks where you get out and you get to watch? Those have been around for years.

[@inactivechannel7029]

@@eclipsemoon2b In some places they’re common, and some places they’re rare. There’s a full service franchise in my area called Bubbles, and there are a few other full service washes here.

$20 for a car wash is kinda ridiculous but we don’t have it much better in Decorah IA we only have two car washes and their both $18 for the top wash!

[@dave11686]

Very cool

[@marksmith5696]

How did you not notice that during the wash stage, there was absolutely no soap, only polish?

[@christinagoodescarwashvlog4850]

One personal annoyance was I thought only the one pass of the top brush was all they did. Until I saw the high pressure cycle, I was annoyed by the fact that it didn't do a second pass on the top brush. I'm sorry if my grammar didn't make sense, but it happens to me quite a lot.

[@SamSitar]

i agree. the top brush should pass over the car twice.

[@mattdude]

I was wondering, do you prefer car washes with a dryer that you drive through or ones that pass through back and forth?

[@NicholasNormand]

i noticed the spot free rinse light didn't light up on the signage on the left side when in the tandem surfline

[@leonardobendheimer1944]

I Lived in dogtown many years ago, great city St Louis

This is the Limited Trim. It's one of the Highest Trim levels of the Avalon

[@jeepguy95]

The bad thing about replacing the stereo in a 2005+ Avalon is that you have to relocate the factory radio to the trunk, or else you lose some important controls. I'm sure you'll figure it out though. :)

[@SamSitar]

how does not doing that lose some controls?

[@jeepguy95]

@@SamSitar If you don't install the factory radio in the trunk and connect it to power, you don't get a display, which means you don't get climate controls, compass, clock, etc.
