I loved the idea of being able to pay using the App in advance, but it gave me SO MUCH trouble! It kept timing out and not letting me pay. It did work in the end, but then we had to battle the sunsh... See more

The Christchurch wash is very good . The only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is because my wheels are never quite taken care of enough and always need extra when I get home . Can’t fault the actual wa... See more

First time user

I pulled in on a whim as I was passing to try the car wash for the first time. I didn't have the app downloaded as I'd not used it before. I felt a rushed by the man who sprays the car before entering the wash. I couldn't get the payment to go through and he kept asking for the QR code which I hadn't got yet.

Once that was sorted and he had the code he directed me and sprayed the car. Going through the car wash was a strange experience but my car came out clean at the other end so all was good. Cost slightly more than I usually pay for a hand wash, but a more thorough job.

Quick & Efficient

Such a quick and efficient way to get your car gleaming. I took advantage of buying a bundle of the Ceramic XR and made a great saving. We arrived at the Lancing site and there were about four cars in front of us, they soon went through and then it was our turn. Presented my app and we were off. A quick hand spray all over the car and then our journey on the conveyor started. Lots of suds and sprays all over and under the car. An illuminated sign on the wash showed we were getting the Ceramic XR treatments. Lots of brushes working the suds over, under and on the wheels, taking it from dusty, bird poo, grimy dark paintwork back to its lovely deep purple shiny self. A lovely rinse off and then the air dyers. Finally a chamois from front to back and we were finished. Can’t wait for next months wash.

My car still had marks all over sides

My car still had water marks all over sides, windows and bonnet.
They didn't spray the pre solution all over the car (missed my side and wing mirrors)
I complained, but the person I spoke to, said it had "tap water" marks.
Very disappointed, as my car did not look clean and I had spent £15 which now seems like a waste.
