    You will need to do it all properly otherwise you will have one very scratched car with all the dirt.

    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.

    Take the car along you will not be disapointed.

    Should you need direction give me a shout

    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 ??????
