Default EASTERN EUROPEAN CAR WASHERS

Being really lazy here. cant be aRSed to wash the bmw!!!

i usually take it to a place in town called 'POSH WASH' (hand wash, and just the bmw, always wash the RS myself)

for £6 they do miles better than i could of washing it and it comes up a treat, i would take it down there now but the owners seem to change every two weeks and im not really trusting these 'different owners'

the first guys seemed really genuine and helpful, wonder why they keep changing??

does anybody know of any decent hand wash places in the north essex/cambridgeshire area?

ALSO if i cant find a solution will a car-wash, the ones with the rollers scratch the paintwork??


thanks

Wash it yourself you lazy barsteward!

Don't go taking it through a car wash... some may be OK, but i've heard and seen horror stories, including a crushed car!

For what its worth, spend half an hour, quick rinse.. quick wash, quick rinse... better than what you'd get at the drive through wash with the rollers.....

you aint been to the one near the new arsenal stadium


i fookignn rate them big time


i parked my cabrio under a tree for 6 months and then when i charged the batt we decided to go sea side with our little girl, missus said she aint going out in a car like that ( you couldnt see in the wing mirror glass to see behind was that bad)

anyway went to visit my local car wash, drove in and they washed it,,,,,,, cost me 4 quid as i spent a quid on buying a bottle of coke whilst i waited



anyway they done a fucking pukka job, better than i have ever done and took em 20 mins ( but fuck me it was dirty )


week later i towed the cossie there and got em to wash that too,,,,, that was the point they thought i was taking the piss


infact the first time i ever used em was with the cossie,,,,, i NEVER washed my cossie before and i needed to for my aunts funeral ( i do have some respect)


anyway i asked em, they said 5 quid and so i drove my cossie round the corner in there,,,,,, the look on there faces was priceless,,, seriously was but again they done a fucking wicked job,,,, hence why i use em when ever i was a car now days ( about twice a year )


THEY EVEN SPENT 5 MINS TRYING TO TCUT OUT THE BURNT FLAME SCORCHES ON THE REAR BUMPER ,,,,,, 2 OF EM GOT INVOLVED AND I NHAD THE ENGINE RUNNING,,,,,,, HATE TO THINK WHAT BUZZ THEY WAS GETTING OUT OF IT


IN A NUT SHELL I FOOKING LOVE EM AND ID NEVER GO ELSE WHERE,,,,, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE DEMATICALLY INCREASED THERE PRICES SINCE THE ARSENAL STADIUM OPENED,,,,,, ITS NOW 6 QUID A WASH,,,,, i still payed 5 when i went last,,,,,, told em if they charge me 6 quid ill use the albainian gaff on seven sisters road ,,,,,, gotta get value for money aint ya
