Sparkling Carwash (Burwood East, VIC)

Sparkling Carwash (Burwood East, VIC) is a local spot you’ll notice along the strip, and it’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Google rates it 3.1, so it’s very much a mixed bag. Some days folks say it’s decent, other times it’s seen as overpriced and underwhelming. There is an automatic/touchless option, but a few reviews report it didn’t start or worked poorly.

There are manual bays too, with pressure cleaners and brushes for a more hands-on wash if you prefer. You can pay with coins and there’s a change machine, and many reviewers mention card payments (including contactless) – just watch for the $0.50 surcharge on the automatic wash.

Vacuums are on site, and a dog wash facility plus car mat hangers get a shout-out in some reviews. Prices swing around automatic washes from about $12 to $18.50, with the noted card surcharge, and manual bays around $1 for 90 seconds, with vacuuming at $1. Some folks call it pricey, others say it gets the job done when you’re nearby.
