Cleaning Car

Ask a Question

Do you clean your car yourself at home or do you take it to a car wash? if you take it to a car wash do you use a hand car wash or one of the drive in machine ones?

No that’s not my job to clean the car. To be honest it’s not washed very often although the windscreen is cleaned frequently.

I was lucky to get a new car, so I do it myself. I don't trust the machine ones because they damage things and break things off. Hand washing by valets is good but then, do they do it how you like it?

I always clean my own car, I enjoy doing it and it's far cheaper to do it myself

Are use the drive-through one as there is one near me for £3 for a basic wash which I think is very good

I had not cleaned my car for a year, luckily I only do under 6thou miles a year. It was due a wash and then someone reversed into me, repair company took it away and was spotless when returned. I used to love washing my own car but I’ve a toddler so I get my other half to do it ( when he can be bothered)

I take it to be cleaned but hoover it myself. My partner cleaned it with a bucket of water and a sponge. Can't tell the difference between either.
