Any recommendations? The guy I have used before uses a brush and it leaves streaks over the whole car.

I can't stomach washing the car in the freezing cold but need to keep all the salt and crap off it to help prevent any rust.

I have found someone but they've been rather elusive to get a hold of.

That site doesn't seem to have a search by location?

try this one

There is a search, if you scroll down on the homepage you should find it. Sorry - I think I linked you to my listing rather than the homepage.

There aren't many listings at all and none anywhere near me.

Bit far. Maybe I should have said East of Dundee.

Revival.

Thought I got a guy willing to do this then he just started ignoring my messages. Hate people like that.

Just can never be arsed going out in the cold to do it.

I cant say I've seen a mobile car wash??? How could they make money?
Surely you'd need at the very least a valet to make it worthwhile for someone to come out?

Really?

There are plenty, they tend to offer from a basic wash up to a full valet. A brush does not show mercy to clearcoat, however.

Just my thinking, that's all, we charge £4 for a car wash but not mobile. Heres why I was thinking this, hopefully put a different light on it, Id need to charge £24 if I was mobile to cover the cost of a van, insurance, equipment products, advertising, insurance, phone, diesel, wage etc etc and then id need to be doing 10 a day. Either that or 2/3 full valets.
Oh and we use a brush............ yikes but only for vans biggrin
