To under pin the above statement they go all out to meet the requirements of Botany’s and East Tamaki’s multi-cultural communities. This makes them feel very proud as this is the face of today’s New Zealand. Every one is welcome here. “The car wash and our forecourt presentation is the best anywhere in the world. We know we’ve taken this to a new level. We’re not selling a car wash, we’re selling an experience, ” says owner Baden Pascoe.

#1 Supreme Carwash gives people the chance to wash and vacuum their car and “chill out” at the same time. It has seven spacious self-service bays that are simple to use and offer easy to understand colour codes and directions in English and Chinese.

The feature of the site is its state-of-the-art German Supremo Autowashe, which Baden describes as New Zealand’s most advanced brush car wash machine. It has five brushes, uses special detergent, and pre-rinses vehicles to remove material that may result in scratching during the washing process. Another machine on-site is the Laser car wash, which offers touchless car washing using a two-step process.

Neither the Supremo Autowashe nor the touch-less washing machine will scratch a vehicle’s paintwork, Baden says. “In the bays we use the world’s best chemical, Turtle Wax, which is imported from the US and has been around for 70 or 80 years. We have pre-soak, which is water-based de-grease for chassis and mag wheels, and there’s a high-pressure soap. In the back bays we offer hot, high pressure soap and that’s good for doing mag wheels or getting rid of things like bird mess.”

Mark and Grant have been serving the community for over 25 years, providing friendly and efficient service. They service and repair all makes and models and all our work is guaranteed. Plenty of off-street parking is available and we are open 5 days a week from 7am-4.30pm.

A new feature at #1 Supreme Carwash is spot-free rinse, which applies reverse osmoses water to a vehicle so when it dries there are no spots. There are seven highpowered vacuum stations so people can make the inside of their vehicle spotless. Available for purchase is a range of high quality self-service vending products imported from the US including glass cleaner, Armor All, cleaning sponges, microfibre towels, and tyre shine and foam. Using the Supremo Autowashe machine costs $14 or $18, while the touch-less wash is $12-$16. People can use the self-service bays to wash and wax their vehicle for about $12 and it costs about $4 to vacuum. Baden says the business takes pride in its presentation, cleanliness, and being easy to use. “People can come with cash and we take debit and credit cards, both with Paywave options. Anyone who washes their vehicle here will do so in a totally environmentally-friendly way. Rather than washing their car in a driveway, where brake dust and heavy metals go down the stormwater and pollute the channels. That is something we’re very conscious of.”
