Back in 2009 I remember turning up after the drive from London to find very poor facilities for people displaying cars,

It was very difficult trying to get a bucket under the sink in the public toilets and the floors were soaking from the people that had tried, there were no outside taps and the NEC staff were not happy saying that the soap suds from people washing cars were a danger to the environment as the contaminated water was draining into rain water gullies which ran into local streams!

So the question is chaps, have things improved?

Any companies offering valeting services?

This is always a problem at shows. If anyone knows of a car washing place near by (hand carwash only) that would help.

If not I will pray for dry roads.

I've only just seen this but yes there is. You need to contact Auto Finesse in advance of the show, or find one of their guys on setup day. There is a charge but it's very good for what you get.

Thanks,

James

Could try the place here for a quick tidy up https://goo.gl/maps/syVjRMN7MM42. It's on
A45 Driving towards Coventry, you can go back through car park and drive towards meriden, don't take the right at the roundabout as the slip road back onto A45 towards NEC is filthy(lorries and mud) better to take a left into village and 3rd exit of the roundabout onto Hampton lane and onto a452 and on to A45 to NEC.

There is also a hand wash in Balsall Common on the A452 dual carriageway can't comment on them as haven't been.
