£14 for the Slovaks to do inside and out.

Just wondering what's the going rate around the country for a hand car wash including a polish / hoover inside. This wasn't a full valet by any means but I was pretty pleased with £8 for the above - was in Luton.

They did a wash, polish and hoover out for £8? They wont be in business long.

Are you sure it wasnt a wash / wax, dry and hoover out?

The local eastern european cash was closest to me does a wash, dry, glass polish (outside), sills, and tyres slicked for £5.

They do a pretty decent job too. I would have a preference to do it myself but i dont always have the hour or so it takes free.

Heaven forbid someone takes their car to a car wash, they must be fat and/or lazy to do so.

What a knob

:rotfl:


Lazy or not they don't like their car very much.


DIY costs very little (except effort) and gtees no scratches

Got to agree, plus it's a good opportunity to get up close and check the bodywork for chips, scratches, or in my case this morning, a small dent where an idiot has clearly opened their car door onto mine in the past week or two :mad:

How sad, OP asks for price comparisonson car valet and the standard joyless idiots castigate him for not doing the valet himself.

I'd never let anyone else wash my car, because no-one has the same attention to details as me. And who wants big scratches all over and swirls, no thanks.

I'd rather spend 3/4 hours detailing my own car, wash, polish, wax. And hoover inside/out.

Satisfaction + save money, win win win win.

I'm disabled so can't be bothered doing it myself. As my car is 17 years and 158,000 miles old, they can't put anymore scratches on my car than there already is :rotfl::rotfl:
