I’m new to driving a car here but as the title says, where are they? I’ve only seen them at one of two has stations ever in Taiwan. I like to clean my Windshield every time I fill up… But they don’t exist here it seems. What does everyone else do? Like this week I had bird poo dried on. It bothers me and the wipers won’t clear it.
I don’t want to wash the car every week.
Hmm, I don’t know the Chinese for squeegee so I showed them a picture. The last 8 places said no, they didn’t have one, they told me to go through the car wash. Another offered me a dirty rag. Maybe they only have them in taipei
Nope. I’m in Tainan and I have a dirty rag. They are widely available, though you might have to get it dirty yourself.
(Actually mine is a Taiwan Army nurses uniform blouse which I found in an abandoned military hospital, so not that widely available, but a more ordinary rag would do at a pinch.)
I also have a bucket. When compared to the value of my car, this is a fairly significant investment, but probably not when compared to the value of yours.
Don’t have the market closing spot price for used buckets handy (though I’m on the Internyet so I suppose its a click away) but I’d expect to get gouged by depreciation.
Plus buckets are versatile. You can wash, crap, carry tools, plant potatoes in them, invert and sit on them like Oor Wullie from The Broons (optimally not all at the same time). Can’t see you doing all that with your somewhat…how to put this without giving offence?..Terry and June squeegee thing…which I’m sure is very nice and you’ll be very happy with…
Plus I get sentimentally attached to things, big girls blouse that I am (and have).
