1. You can go to the automatic car wash at your local petrol station, where prices can range from £3 to £6 for the top wash which can take around 10 minutes.

Automatic car washes generally do a good visual job, but can often miss bits on complex alloy wheels, cars with Spoilers such as Subaru Impreza’s aren’t recommended to be put through just in case the spoilers are loose.  Areas around the inner side of wing mirrors can often be poorly washed aswell. If you’re car is new and your wanting to keep the body work in good condition then I’d stay away from these types of car washes as they can cause scratching.

2.  The car wash bays at petrol station car be a good option , some will take money straight away into the machine where as others tend to use a token based system.

Car wash bays general are a good option as your time doesn’t have to be limited. The brushes often get used by people with really dirty vehicles so this can cause marks on your new vehicle. Otherwise these are a good option.

3.  You can always wash the vehicle at home.

Washing your car at home is often the option that most people choose as it is easiest and the lowest cost.  Also there’s a wide variety of products that you can use to give your car a good high gloss finish. On average it will probably take you a morning or afternoon to get round a larger estate car inside and out.

4. Professional Car Valeter

This is going to be the more expensive option but they will usually come to your house or place of work to wash and prepare your car. It will often only take them 2/3 hours to full get around a Vauxhall corsa.
Generally they will have a few car valeting packages available, starting with a basic wash and hoover all the way to a full polish and wax.
