Too lazy to clean my own car!

djm · 24th June 2007, 13:14

But want it to look good. Can anyone recommend a decent place to get it cleaned, in the Birmingham/Solihull area?

theres a place on the A45, big yellow building, dont know how good they are but there always busy.

I'd offer, but it takes me too long to do my own!

I didn't do much with my last car. Since this is new, I've spent a bit of dosh, read around, got some good advice off here, and now enjoy washing and shinying my car.

If you really can't be ars*d a quick google search threw up http://www.sutton-valet.co.uk/ No idea if they're any good!

The place on the A45 (Yellow place) is good.... (A45 eastbound) after the NEC, near Meriden.

Only thing is, I'm not 100% sure what they use to get rid of subborn dust on alloys. As it leaves a fairly matt finish when it dries. They do, do a really good job (put I only used them, when I had a company car).

Now I've got my own, I try and find the time to wash it myself. (Admitidly thats not very often!)

I think..... it starts off at £4 upwards.

If I remember rightly 4 quid includes full pressure and handwash (with wheels and everything). Then they use silicon blades to wipe the water off, and lather the rest down.

The higher packages, include door-shuts, vacumming, polishing etc etc....
