A car wash is a great way to get your car cleaned quickly without having to get dirty yourself. In recent years we have seen a massive increase in hand car washes (where your car is washed by a person rather than a machine). This can cost as little as three pounds and they often can reach places a machine simply cannot.

When using an automatic carwash, ensure that you have removed you aerial and that you do not have any loose trim as they can easily be ripped off in the process. Some people say that car washes scratch your paint work, so always be careful which on you use and check your car over after the wash (before you drive away) to ensure that no damage has been caused.

If at all possible, the best way to clean your car is either yourself or by taking it to a professional valeting company but this can be time consuming or costly.
