yeah we have a few out by us, most seem to do a really good job but I havent tried one yet. Lets face it, the job done by hand is far superior to that done by the machine (well, it is in my opinion) so good on 'em.

Lucky they don't speak any English, they might tell you how bad yours is.



They wouldn't have done mine for a tenner, it took me over an hour with the jet wash, and I had to take the wheels off to get to all the mud ! Thought I'd broken something when I went up the road - anything over 50mph and it was shaking like a shitting elephant. The wheels were caked with clay and that knocked the balance out a tad.

We have alot in Telford and this is what they say when u park up and yes it is as spelt(you one carwash). Going rate for normal size car is £5 and between £7/£10 for propper cars like Trols and Terrano's which seems pretty fair to me as they do a good job and normally throw in tyre shine and free air freshner
I do wonder tho how many are legal

about same only havent washed ours since got it n august.

still looks ok, so amazon green wears the crap pretty well.

so the rain must have soap in in it these days not just acid.

just plucking up enthusiasm to clean the caravan, which have
had 3 years and never touched on outside. theres some
green on the roof but not bad really.


96t keep your voice down, the immigrant english are on our
way, mnd might head back to wales when we are overrun
here, got family there and more importantly will be less diesel.

I do wonder tho how many are legal
a pal wants to set one up, not much competition in our side of the city, yet.

wants do do it with proper recycling of dirty water, something which will make
many of the others illegal as their run off heads for the nearest street gutter,
