Car Washes

The couple of car washes I have used for a while now have both closed down. One due to the development of the site and one by Greenwich Council. Both were in upper Plumstead. Anyone know of any others around and about to satisfy my car cleaning needs. I don’t mean the automatic washes but the ones that clean inside and out for about £12 or so. TIA

    great one in bexleyheath behind where pizza express is pretty sure its inside and out for £10.00 i always give them a couple of quid extra, handy as you can leave it there and do any shopping you need to do.

    Is one of the closed ones the one that was in the petrol station in the dip? After that video came out of them fighting with a snow shovel?

    That’s one. Closed about five weeks ago. Didn’t see the video mores the pity.

    There's very few I would use as all they do is ruin your paintwork, wash it yourself!

    How much do you charge ?

    For a standard clean, £75. then anywhere up to £2k for paint correction and full detail and dependent on what wax you want.

    Whatever you do, dont use the one by Bexley station - useless.

    Is Washes the right plural?

    Anyone who uses the term 'T Cut' in a car cleaning advert is not a professional ....!

    the one near our village is very good. Ok I pay £20 for inside and out but they do a very good job plus there is a café on site so you can read the papers and have a coffee whilst it's being done. Get's very busy though so sometimes can be in a queue of six or seven waiting to be done.

    Think I’ll just go for full wax of back, sack and crack. When can you fit me in ?

    Detailing is the way to go. I've recently had my Merc detailed and a ceramic treatment done and it was worth every penny. All the salt and shit that ruins paintwork does not stick and no way on this earth would I let someone with a sponge, microfibre or anything else near it from one of those car washes.

    A detail can be done for 150 quid up to the sort of money @Rob7Lee is talking about with microscopic paint corrections.

    If you don't give a shit about your paintwork take your car to a car wash staffed by blokes and girls, if you can't afford a detail stick to machine washes as they are less horrible to paintwork. If you like your car tale it to see a detailler and get a treatment done on it

    The one opposite Hewitts farm in the golf course is very good.
    £20 gets you the full treatment well worth the money car comes out looking and smelling like new.

    There used to be a blinding one at Northfleet, they even used to stake my change up in size order in the ashtray. I think that was £15, inside and out

    Never use a sponge and never use a leather.

    Unless you don’t mind swirls all over your paint I wouldn’t take it to nearly any £20 car wash.

    Makro's car park, the scene of many a settled argument on here, has an excellent team. About £14 for a large saloon, they do such a good job I have to give them a score.

    What, they even come round and do the pub for you?

    That’s one. Closed about five weeks ago. Didn’t see the video mores the pity.

    With this footage which got quite wide coverage, plus there were also complaints about the guys making inappropriate comments to young females, I think it just got shut down as a nuisance.

    I don’t like anyone else cleaning my car. I appreciate most people are not like me but I do enjoy cleaning a car.
    It’s worth knowing that a lot of these pop up car washes use some pretty cheap and nasty alloy wheel cleaning that will strip the lacquer from them. I bet none of them use Bilt Hamber.

    We are brothers (although I prefer Billberry on my wheels).
