Hannas car wash in glasgow behind victoria rd £4.00 what a wash there are about 12 people working on the site you drive in wet the car and they direct you forward soap sponge wash rinse wheel clean. Alloys will be cleaned with spray and rest assured they can clean cars.
Ps they are open 24hrs a day yes 24hrs they dont shut.

I wouldnt take your car to any of these drive in car wash places unless you want lots of swirls all over your paint.

£4 is a false economy. I have machine polished so many cars now after folks have taken their cars to these kind of places.

Its a hand car wash for those of you who dont know Glasgow

And they dont leave swirls as their hands dont spin in 360 degrees

But it has been known for their heads to spin ??????

I can assure you that if they are washing with sponges that they will be leaving light swirl marks. Just look at your car under a street light when its clean and dry.

The sponges will be put back into a communal bucket that is prob had about 10 cars worth of use before change.
