Last month I posted about a drive-through car wash near my house in which they let you sit in the car while it’s getting washed. Well a reader pointed me towards another car wash also nearby that had what he called a LaserWash. So not knowing what exactly a laser wash was I decided to pass by today and check it out.
Turns out LaserWash is a touch free automated car wash which means that it doesn’t contain brushes and nothing except water and soap touch your car. The idea is that since there is no physical contact then there isn’t anything that will scratch your car. I recorded a video of a wash which takes around 5 minutes which you could watch above. My car was just dusty except for a bug stain on the windshield. After the wash the dust was gone and the car was all shiny but the bug stain was still there.
Would I use it again? Maybe, I had to wait an hour and a half today to get the car washed which defeats the whole purpose of a quick drive through. I might have as well driven to Al Falah in Kuwait City, gotten my car washed there properly and gotten back home. But if the place is empty and my car is just dusty why not.
The LaserWash is located at the Oula gas station next to the Jawazat roundabout near Souk Salmiya. The cost was KD1.750 for just an exterior cleaning. [YouTube]

that is like sooooooooo old !!!!
we started using the same thing here in dubai in 2002.
now all the emirates gas stations have the green wash option which means that they will wash ur car without water using special types of liquid soups.
which will help in minimizing water consuption !!!
try to top that

The song is Beside You In Time by Nine Inch Nails.

good music LOL. next time you got to play right where it belongs v1 when he voice changes at the end when u get out of the car wash 😀
Kinda ominous soundtrack for a car wash soundtrack 😛
Used that wash about 2 weeks ago after some rain. My car is black, so I thought it may save me the scratched paintwork.
Unfortunately, it simply didn’t remove the dirt. After washing, you could still see the marks where the raindrops had been.
I then had to get it done elsewhere.
elBurk thanks :p I wanted to ask the same question.
Thanks Mark
Tried hard, wasted 5 mins watching a car getting washed but still couldn’t see any Laser.
PS. IMO our loyal and always-smiling Haaris does it best.
For a quick wash i recommend the alghanim quick service in shuwaikh. Economical KD 15 booklet for 12 washes. Max 10-15 minutes on most days. Only problem is that they are open during their normal working hours 8am to 6pm.
