We would like to recommend the new CMW hand car wash which has just started in the forecourt of CMW rentals in Maison Dieu, adjacent to the leisure centre and the White Horse pub. They do everything from a tidy up for £5 to a full blown uber-valet for £45. We had our little hatchback done as it was looking a bit shabby. It cost us £10 and it took about 15 minutes. There's a small heated waiting room so you can watch while your car gets it's beauty treatment. The service was excellent so if your car needs a bit of TLC go along and have a look.
I think we are all guinea pigs in the middle of an experiment for which they have forgotten to set up a control group!

I saw that, walking back from my exercises Jen. A guy was having his Honda cleaned, he said they do a full valet for £25 and said they do a very good job.
There's no publicity about it, not even what the cost of the cleaning is.
I'll take my car there for a spruce up.

It certainly has not done anything for the appearance of the premises.

There is a new one in Charlton Centre carpark I saw the sign this morning run by a very nice Polish gentleman so I have been told.

at least the polish chap is trying to earn a living,and not scrounging benifits as some people would think.

What is the price in the Charlton Centre car park and is he offering a full valet or just a Polish?

I have done the car in CMW and they are brilliant. The only thing to remind them and I think its important, is to make the windscreen smear free. The first time they did I had to do it myself over again. But the other times I reminded them and it was perfect. Happy with the Service and can recommend them highly :D
I paid £10.00 for inside out job :)

I went on line and got the cleaner that needs no water just put it on and rub it off,and it does a very good job my car gets bad at times and I just rub the cream in and take it off again and as I said you do not use water at all.

these are polish Vic, surely you need to wash the car first and then put this stuff on? I clean the car in the summer myself. I wash it and then polish it with the stuff you describe in post 12
you have to watch your paint dont get scratched???

No you do not need to wash the car it all comes off and the car is left very clean and polish,you can always come and have a look at my car best it has ever been and does not take long put it on rub it off,the only thing is under the car you need at times just to power wash under the car in bad weather to remove mud,As you know we must keep our cars clean in Dover becuse of the sea air and the salt in it,but try it, must it will not scratch the car you can buy it local I do it on line because cost less but you also get a window cleaner with it and mic/towels which also are very good.You get beween 12 to 14 washs before you need to get more.

Every time it rains my neighbour dashes outside with a bucket and broom and coveres his landrover in suds. He disappears indoors and lets the rain rinse it clean!
