The cheap washes here, although they claim valet, isn't a valet.

A proper valet is £75 upwards.

The £10 washes are little more than a quick wash, sometimes polish, and vac. Yes, and magic tree.

I *ALWAYS* avoid the supermarket ones, as they are reusing the water etc. As a minimum, and cheap hand wash I use must have hoses or pressure washers.

pressure washers generally cause trouble , I avoid them especially in winter.. however in the last years I never use those places as they damage or break something anyway.. :(
