Reasonable rate with good washing. However there were some negatives like wheel cleaning is not enough. The drying option should be more deeper.

Car had many smears after the drying…

Car had many smears after the drying process and the option I chose came with wheel clean and tyre dressing. Wheels were only just clean but no tyre dressing was applied. Expensive car was for an average clean/dry

Proper basic

Proper basic, paid £15 and the drying of what was cleaned was terrible. It was just flaps of material slapping the car which just didn’t dry it properly so it’s stained

Very poor quality

Very poor quality. Paid for a ultra HD wash, but by the end it looked like a child had washed it with a rag that had been rubbed in the mud if im honest. Very poor for a car wash to be honest. Think there was more dirt marks on the car coming out, than was on it, before it went in.

This is the most corrupt IMO site…

This is the most corrupt IMO site compared to all others in the region. This time, the last stage of drying, the fabric battens are turned off from rotating probably to save on wear and tear and potential replacement or electric bill. The actual franchise is working. The wheel brushes are now taken out. Very soon the site will become a used car sales plot..

One brush is still broken

One brush is still broken, and has been gor over 6 months. This means the right side of the car is no cleaned as well as the left side. If this is not important, then there would be no brush fitted. The result is a sub standard clean fir the last 6 Ceramic washes.
