Loads of them in Bristol, and mostly they do a pretty good job for a fiver, definitely an improvement on the ones you see at traffic lights who splash a bit of water on your windscreen then ask you for a pound!

I went into one in in Swansea last month as the kids said "I dare you dad" I had been offroading and as usual my truck looked like it had been dug up in an episode of Time Team
So we drove in and offered the polski bloke the £6 for a hand job fully expecting to be told to sod off and lo and behold "£10 mate and you're on"
Went for a pint across the road to watch the task , it was much funnier than the telly he was only little and couldn't reach the windscreen and roof, so there's his mate and the office chair (on wheels) and a wet broom trying to clean my roof spots
Fair play they did a tidy job and made our afternoon
Good for them I say
