    All carwashs reduced to €2 in participating Topaz / Esso garages.
    Tickets are valid for 5 days so don't need to use today either.

    €2.00 for a machine to rub the grit and dirt all around your car and create micromarring. No thanks.

    Wash it yourself and avoid damage to your car.

    This offer is obviously for those who pay a tenner for a machine to rub the grit and dirt all around your car and create micromarring.

    I watched a 5th gear video on YouTube and they tested all the ways to wash your car. And the machine car wash damaged the paint work the least.

    I can't say I have had any issues with machines. I usually get a machine wash to do the heavy lifting then handwash it fairly nifty and give it a polish.

    I'll pop down my topaz and grab a ticket for a wash ! Thanks OP

    Don't ever use a sponge or let those side street washers near your car. You know the wiper blade water hand held clearer's do some of the worst damage.

    Car was at least sprays some suds or at the least water.

    To be fair, their comparison didn't include proper handwash with your own equipment. So from the bad options, machine car was is the best :D

    Machines best way to go.

    Avoid those lads with the power hoses and paint strippers.

    I don't see the thing about the 5 days.

    It says "1. The Car Wash promotion will run for one day only on the 25th November 2016. Please note Car Wash opening times vary by location. " here : https://www.topaz.ie/service-station/topaz-service-station/car_wash_pass_terms.aspx
    Am I missing something (wouldn't be the first time !) ?

    It tends to be that the code ticket generated in the station when you pay has a validity date on it, usually 5 days from date of purchase.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭loki7777


    Code is always valid for 5 days:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭rejkin


    Just bought a ticket there in the local garage.

    Can confirm it says under the code that the ticket is valid for 5 days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭turniphead


    I just got the platinum wash in Topaz Cabinteely for €2. (Usually €12)

    Car wash docket valid until 25/12/2016 so I invested in a few.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭Nidom


    Oh I thought it was today only, nice one.

    It is only one day to buy it for €2 but you dont have to use it today (valid 5 days). Great deal if you use that kind of wash (maybe valid also for jet wash not sure about it).


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 1,331 ✭✭✭J.pilkington


    Can I buy in one site and then use at another?


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    I think you have to use it in the same site.

    I verify what turniphead has said. I have a ticket bought today, valid to 25/12/2016. Will be going back later for another 1/2.

    Queues were about 30 minutes though. I didn't stay.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭Yawns


    My ticket says valid for 7 days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Guffy


    Some sites are 7 days, some 5. There are queues to be expected at all sites so personally i would buy today, use tomorrow. It is not valid on jet wash as far as i know

    Just checked, if your brave enough to wash the car yourself in this cold, the 2 euro wash also applies to the jet wash.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,356 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Got one and it's valid for 10 days. There was a queue so the guy at the counter said you can come anytime within 10 days. No point waiting today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    Do you buy the voucher in store or at the wash?

    You buy it in store.

    No I don't imagine so. The carwashes would need to be linked up to a central database of Topaz car washes. No harm to try it at another one, if it doesn't work you can just drive away!

    It doesn't. The tickets are site specific

    What's the platinum wash? Is it the same as top wash which is €12?

    It deposits a layer of platinum on your car ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    It'd want to for €12


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭yannakis


    Went back here to use mine https://goo.gl/maps/3ZUofKyw4Qp and they're renovating the car wash!!

    Guy at the till only gave me the option to refund the €2. I'll get in contact with @topazenergy and keep you posted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭yannakis


    Good news, to put closure to the previous post. Topaz will send me a new code valid in all branches and can be used within 1 month.

    Guys,

    I bought 2 of these on Black Friday. The guy at the counter told me as there was a queue I could use it anytime within 10 days. One I used that day and one for the wife. It also says on ticket valid for 10 days from day of purchase. Went there last weekend and today (last day I can use it) and both times car wash was broken.

    I was told today that my ticket was only valid for Black Friday.

    Anyone have any problems using this any other day that was Black Friday?

    Thanks.

    I used my ticket after four days. No issue.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    Go into the shop and explain about the broken car wash and that it's the last day you can use it, they'll replace it for you. There's a new car wash in Ennis which meant there wasn't a car wash for a week since Black Friday, I got a replacement Top Wash (€12) no hassle, the car is shining now and according to the blurb on the car wash I'm protected from loads of stuff.

    Is the wash broken. Have you tried to type the code in? The assistant is mistaking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,622 ✭✭✭Baby01032012


    It was the assistant behind the counter today that told me it was only valid for good Friday, when I went in to get a replacement ticket. She said her manager had told her this. She said car wash out of order for over a week. It's completely closed off. She said it won't be operating til January.

    So I've emailed topaz with the code on my ticket and explaining the cars ash has been out of order since day after I bought it.

    Id be shocked if they didn't issue you with a new ticket code for another site.
