Car wash help required in Southampton area pease - XFullFatTim - 30-08-2012 05:54pm
Can anybody recommend a good car wash that hand washes cars in Southampton/ Nursling specifically? Mine is filthy after sitting under trees in a car park for 4 days of rain and wind and after 450 miles of motorway driving in heavy rain showers and I would like to get it spruced up a bit, it doesn't need a full on valeting, just needs the streaks washed off it

Hi XFullFatTim,
This is the place I use regularly, they can do a very quick wash down or can spend hours on it, your choice.

CJ, thanks but......... I think I prefer N1C and Tulabb's suggestion which looks like it is the same place they are both suggesting, so I'll take run into town tomorrow and see what they can do.
Thanks Tulabb and N1C

Tim's having his car washed
I knew you would come around to my way of thinking eventually, LR's don't have to look dirty. One step at a time, you never know one day you even find yourself cleaning it yourself when you get home

Doug, it depends on the source of the dirt and motorway muck creates the wrong impression of a rough tie tuftie Range Rover, also it has to look good before it returns to Park Royal for a service!

I've only washed mine twice in 6 months

Good move - much as I think LPR's service has been great so far I wouldn't let any dealer wash mine!
If you want it washed just before you go to LPR there's a great place 3 minutes away called "Over the Rainbow" just on the North Circular (A406). They're a proper detailer but also does washes and very reasonably priced too. Postcode is NW10 7UD. Alfie is the owner and he's a great guy.
