How often do you Valet your car? (from a car wash group £)

Danny_G

Them groups of car washers, who vacuum your car inside, and wash it outside,

and also wax it...

How often do you do this to your car?

(how frequent, after how many weeks space)

and what price do they charge you ?


I mean the polish guys who do it for about £10 -£12, where you can watch it while it happens.

Never. My sister took hers once and things went missing. Why would they remove the tax disc holder and remove the previous tax disc?

Stuff missing from the glovebox. Factory torch and handbook. She went back to see if they had removed them and forgot to put them back yet they denied opening the glovebox.

I get it washed and dried maybe once every few months, or once a month in the winter for £5.

I'll give the inside a quick go round with the hoover and that's it!

I wash my car every six months, whether it needs it or not.

Lots car washes (even the 'by hand' ones), use traffic film remover as the first step. This is pretty harsh, and will remove wax and any paint treatment that you paid extra for when you bought the car.

I have one car which has a paint treatment, and I wash that by hand using just car shampoo.

The other car just goes through the auto wash from time to time. It doesn't have the same level of shine, but it looks perfectly fine.

I get mine washed every week but the guys who do it aren't Polish, am I doing it wrong? I'm worried now.

I get the Slovaks to do my mine once or twice a year. For £8 they do an awesome job. They are always busy and I have chatted to a few of the local celebs down there whilst getting their cars done.

Mine gets a full valet once a year by the nice garage when it's serviced. Other than that, when I can be a**ed to do it myself.

Never pay.

A group of Lithuanian lads round here do a fantastic job for £12 - as good as a professional valet, using a commercial high powered vacuum for the inside. I get the car done about once every six weeks.

What can I say about the guy who washes and valets my car? Well, he's gorgeous, efficient, and cheap ...

I have to say that as I live with him ...

I've never ever had a car valeted (been driving 35 years).
Last car was brand new when I bought it, P/Xd it 9 years later having never washed/vacuumed it... it wasn't messy/dirty really.
This car, had for 4 years, never vacuumed or washed it - not intending to.

I did try washing some cars when I first started driving, but realised you just get wet and it still looks the same as when you started.
