I used them twice when I was recovering from an operation, but never again, they used very strong TFR and acidic wheel cleaner.........

My local one only employs females and I must admit, these perticular russian ladies are VERY easy on the eye all with a very Milla Jolivich appearance about them, and also several of them are very competent at detailing and correction as well having seen a few cars done in the summer.

Its always good to watch a lady clean some alloys whilst wearing low jeans and a thong. Thank you Calvin Klein!

But I wouldnt let them near my car myself.

Most of the ones I have seen have Eastern Europeans working there. I'll never use them.

I use the local "American" car wash all the time and have no complaints.

They have a lil cafe in the corner so I just park up, go for a coffee & toasted butty, and they call me when they have finished.. It's very nice and well worth the £12 as it includes doing the interior as well..

I wash all of my stable in one go - get the pressure washer, give them a good soaking first, rinse the grit off first then a good wash down. My 75 got its first bath last week, since September - came up pretty good with just the pressure washer alone.
Couldn't agree more with Harry and the answer is a big fat NO!

Ooo-er I think you may have opened a can of worms there Colin.
Wonder why Euro Car Wash don't allow photos...................
Lack of NI numbers for their employees maybe

Nah, probably more to do with the 'ladies' that work there!

I have to admit I have used this service a few times, I usually do it myself but the guys that have done mine do a stunning job for a tenner. Not had her done for a couple of months now and I will be doing the next one regarding all the salt/ muck etc.

Cheers
Tony

Only risk is you only need one bad commercial washer with a gritted sponge and your pride and joy is ruined
