You CAN'T wash your OWN CAR in China! 

Winston the type of guy to wear a suit worth more than the car he's driving in.

Living in the middle of the USA where land and space is plentiful, I couldn't imagine being packed into a city like that. The older I get, the more important open space seems to be. Visiting big cities is fun once in a while, but it gets old fast.

You park your car in Manhattan for 40 days and you will have to give them your car and house keys AS A DOWNPAYMENT

Lived in Man Dong for 6 years and every Saturday I would get the wash and hand rubbed wax job for $10 US. Then on Sunday I would get my car cleaned.

I'm beginning to suspect those subtitles are not totally legitimate.

10 $ for 3 guys handwashing and vacuuming your car as well as changing a bulb.... that's gonna cost you 10 times that in the west...damn.

Don't buy a new car you'll cry! now that's advice i can relate to!

Try park your car in London mate... $150 for 40 days? It'd be over £40 for couple hours in central London tho

The Transporter

Just got back from 14 days in China. I saw only a handful of clean cars. Also noticed that even new beautiful skyscrapers never have their windows cleaned.

China is endlessly fascinating. If he CCP was smart they'd ask him to be a Chinese Diplomat/Trade Liaison....He obviously loves China.

Don't buy an expensive car; you're just gonna cry. The dry humor is immensely entertaining. But then, you probably weren't even trying to be funny.

LOL, Winston, I can just picture you washing your car in your suit.

Is that a Rentley?

In Russia car washes you.

I’m from Manchester uk and have lived in China for six years. I wash my car whenever I like. I rent a flat with my wife and we have an outside tap.

$140 for over a month of parking is not expensive

$150 for 40 Days is not bad

Every one of your videos is ultra-interesting. I have watched many youtubers fall into the trap of feeling forced to make vids and as a result they produce rubbish. I am never bored by yours and i hope you maintain the same quality as you continue making them. Thank you so much. You are very much appreciated and refreshing.

It looks like the Chinese drive on the proper side of the road.

dude, you are in Shenzhen, one of the most expensive city in China. That cant represent the whole china. But I got my house in shenzhen, and wash my car in garden by myself. Its just depends on what kind of place you are living in.

You can wash your car in China. You just have to live in a nicer city/apartment building. My grandparents live in a large apartment in China and have a huge amount of parking lot space around the building and hoses to wash their car, because there is a garden in the parking lot.

Love your video.Thanks for showing.

Found this channel a week ago and im addicted.. love it!!!

damn, that car looks like a plastic toy

Hmm self wash car washes .. sounds like a business opportunity

Lol RU-vid just recommended me this again, the first video of yours I saw maybe a year ago. Thanks for all the great content since!

Love your videos keep them up

Moral of the story....... don't park next to any one from China (or California) unless you want at least 45% of your vehicle covered in dents and scratches from a$$holes.

You can't pump your own gas (petrol) in Oregon.

You know Serpentza, I've learned more about China from you then dozens of history books, movies, documentaries, news casts. You always talk about interesting and USEFUL things! Thanks a lot buddy!

OMG! U r awesome. Love this channel.

We washed our car when I lived in China, but that's because we actually did have a driveway and garden hose. We lived in one of those gated communities that actually have houses, so it's definitely not the norm.

Many comments disparaging his points about costs but he does have a good case: when I lived in London and went away for 2 weeks or 4 weeks, I could park in front of or near my house and leave it there without payment for that period of time. Better off folks can leave their car in the driveway. You could also wash your car in the street or in the driveway. This was a few years ago and I think there may be some restrictions for environmental reasons in London and other cities now but it would not be as restrictive as China, particularly in towns. When I lived in Cambridge in the UK, the only time I paid for parking was when I took the car into the town centre and, even then, if I wasn't in a hurry and was prepared to walk, I could find a place to park for free and take a short walk into the centre ( nine years ago ). As for parking, I could park the car in front of my terraced house ( nothing grand, just a low to medium-priced house) and wash the car. I think people referring to him as stingy have got it wrong: being cost conscious is always wise for anyone who is not wealthy and it does not preclude the ability to be generous with the money that has not been needlessly wasted.

This has to be, ONE of the BEST CHANNELS on RU-vid!!! Thank You Winston ! Just look at the Countries and the Comments from ALL OVER THE WORLD, Our host Winston, sure does know how to make AWESOME VIDEOS, just look at that OVERHEAD SHOT LOOKING DOWN into the Caverns of the Streets below... Just "AWESOME"...Love to You Winston !!!

Love viewing your work, gives real insight to everyday life in China.

It's incredible how quickly dust and dirt builds up in China. I was having a conversation the other day about how in the U.K cleaning your floors and dusting etc only needs to be done maybe once a week whereas here if you go more than a day or two without cleaning everything is filthy.

carwash in philippines is $3 for a car, $4 if SUV/Van and the light bulb replacement is like 60 cents... up to you if you want to give a tip

You are awesome bro. I enjoy all your video clips.

Merry Christmas ! Winston!

I started off this video thinking "man that sucks" but at 3:59 it changed to "man i wish america had $7 hand washes AND vacuum by a team of young boys who will also change your dead tail lights" The lights alone in america will run you $30 at the mechanic shop

Correction......you do NOT have to pay for parking 'everywhere' in China. I live in Foshan, not too far from Shenzhen (actually just south of Guangzhou) and apart from basement style paid car-parks below apartment blocks, my town of Shunde has only just opened it's first paid parking area! The large Jusco/Aeon shopping mall is FREE. Parking at Tesco and Walmart supermarkets is FREE. Apart from the new paid parking area, locals will park ANYWHERE......and I mean ANYWHERE. They wont care of they completely block the pavement/sidewalk. They won't care if they double park. They wont care if they park on the corner of junctions. They won't care if they park over a pedestrian crossing. If they can fit their car (even nose first), then they'll park there.

Chinese mainland construction style learned from Hongkong.citizens in urban areas live in apartments,they don’t have their own faucet outside the apartment.so they have to go to car washing shop.in suburban areas,they live in house and there are faucets.Apartment-city style has its advantages such as containing more populations,containing more commercial properties.also there are disadvantages such as not having enough room for everyone,no enough parking lots for each car.

Only you, Winston, can make a video griping about car wash and get a million views. That's why I am a patron.

My future wife waving at me through the internet.

I live in a North city of China , 30% parking place are free. 7m ppl in that city also.

Really interesting watch. Good job

Thank you for an informative clip. It is very helpful for expat people in here.

buy plastic bucket and mop, fill bucket with water and wet mop, throw water on car, clean car with mop.

Awesome choice of Synthwave genre soundtrack music for the videos.

I love what you're doing bro!!!!!!! You're a real dude. We need more people like you. Happy wishes to you and your wife. Wish you all the success in the world. I will be a fan as long as you're a star.😀😳😬😩🤯😱😮

That's interesting. Great video SZA. Here in Australia, there are times you're not allowed to was your car here either, though that has more to do with drought, and when the drought passes, you can wash your car again

This video helped me to appreciate life here in the Philippines more than ever. I still avoid car ownership and driving here as often as I can. A jeepney ride for P8 (about .16 cents USD) can not be beaten. A bus ride into Manila is very reasonable. At least there is space to wash and work on a car if we choose to. Our labour cost must be much lower as a car wash for my friend's "buggy" will be much less than what we see in the video. Thank you, serpentza, for posting, it is good to know what we would be facing should my wife ever pick up a contract in China.

Glad to see you back at it. Thanks from Arkansas USA

Love the captions on this one

I like how the BO stench of the car wash guy remains in the car when you leave the car wash and drive off. Kind of like a farewell gift 🤓!

Pretty cool indeed, in south america we can still wash our cars in front of home or pay for a full wash & vaccum service, which is not that expensive either.

Excellent Video!!! Cheap Cars are the best kind of cars ---> Because they don't cause a lot of heart ache if they are being "slightly" damaged.

The clip of everyone on the tram glued to their phones. Well good to know that it’s not just the US like that

Thank you for these vids. I live in Japan and have always wondered about China. You are showing me plenty of reasons not to move! Ps ride a bike too.

Scrub it down with a windshield squeegie when ya get gas n its all clean...

You can't fill up your car's gas in New Jersey.

This guy looks like Peter quill Star lord from guardians of the galaxy

I always miss Shenzhen watching your videos. Lived there 2007-15

Love the videos... and dude, you always have awesome music.

It's great hearing how other cultures operate....!!! Keep up the informative videos...!!! 🙂👍

Useful to know! Thanks.

Good video!!👍💪

My parents got free car wash roughly twice a month (with their bank account or something) and that includes interior cleaning, and the place is literally just outside their place. I do miss that cheap service whenever I go to brown bear car wash and spend 5 bucks and do a crappy job myself.... Edit: self service car wash is now becoming a thing in some big cities, where manual labor is getting more expensive.

Did that wash attendant really say "POS"?

Interesting video. I've never used a car wash here in the UK. I think the lads did a good job and the cost was very cheap. Getting a new bulb with a quick fit was great service. Good choice of car for what you need.

Noticed he unlocked the door to get out at the wash. Speaks volumes does that!

Love the "R" bently logo on the hood .... lol

Come to Western Australia and you can film while I drive you around :)

Thumbs up for the drone footage in the and Miami Vice soundtrack

Very nicely done, really.

China feels like dystopian sci-fi flick fron the 80's. I don't even want to visit.

Did he say POS car? Lol.

I really enjoy your content but I didnt realise I wasnt subbed 😲 it's all taken care of now! Good day sir

Hey Serpentza! You do an awesome job making these videos. Was wondering if you see a lot of those "Cage" type apartments in your area? I watched a video on Hong Kong and was shocked at how some people live.

2:26 -move your POS car up a bit MUAHAHAHAHAHA you killed me with those subs! Im sure the kid wouldnt have said that to his friend not mentioning a foreign hitman looking guy in a suit but its funny AF how you put it there LOL! On the other hand, it would be damn hilarious to live in China knowing people just nonchalantly communicate that kinda way. Always great content and drone horizons mainly outro with the music are awesome! I decided to sub+bell!

Why don't you just sell your car then? You have a motorcycle, you have great public transportation, there's no reason to own the car then.

Love your videos ,China has been a mystery to me ,thanx for putting your ass out there for U.S .PS stay awesome and safe.😁

"Don't buy an expensive car, you're just gonna cry." Well said.

That's a nice "LITTLE" Bentley your driving, LMFAO

You look like Star Lord from Guardians of Galaxy

The tea table is awesome though 😍😍

One of my sons spent 6monthscin China when he was a high schooler on a mission trip and he told me that the Chinese drove with one hand on the wheel and the other on the horn and there really were no rules of the road there, you videos are very interesting, hopefully the cars they make are better than the things they sell here!!

3:05 so that's how you say "sure thing brother" in Chinese :D

"Move your pos car up a bit"

Nice vid! What do you do for work? Just subscribed

You have a pretty good and informative vlog here. I'm going to recommend your page to my friends who are about to travel to China within a year. you know, just a heads up! Anyway, I've been wanting to ask about VW as a car brand to choose but it's made in China but the technology is still German. I just want to ask for your opinion, because I'm having a second thought. will it be a good buy if I choose Volkswagen Santana or a Suzuki? Thanks!

I guess the dent thing is the same in every country, I live in Australia, when park in shopping centre, aviod parking next to a dirty or old car which the owner never seem to care, he/she will probably just slash your door when opening theirs

When he says "In China" he means: "in a city in China"

Hey, what about the car window tinting? And the prices? Film Types? Cool video!!

I’m here for the suits. Fantastic look!

In London there's no such thing as free parking either, only if you own a home with a driveway/garage. Most people park their car on the street which actually costs money, but is discounted for local residents. Although lately I think because of the kung flu the traffic wardens haven't been enforcing the rules, it's lovely :)

I agree with you that hand-washing your own vehicle can be a very satisfying activity. It's akin to brushing your cat or deworming your dog - taking care of your little buddy. Of course, it just can't compare to changing your vehicle's engine oil - that is positively orgasmic!

Thank you, very interesting & informative. I'm a car guy so really good to see this one. Love your vids on China! Hope your beautiful wife is well! Cheers, from Sydney, Australia.

PS: Love that “Bentley” badge on the bonnet‼️👍🏼
