London owners: Where do you get your car washed?
Discussion
I still only take my DB9 to the Rainbow Carwash, now called Unique Carwash, next to Ace Cafe in Wembley. £7 for outside, well well worth it, it looks a bit rough and ready but these guys have good processes (jetwash => snow foam (wheel scrub during rest) => rinse => handwash with 2 bucket wash system => rinse => dry with clean dry microfibre cloths and high pressure air hose to dry panel gaps and window seals).
Have never had a bad thing to say about it except for the sometimes lengthy queues (I've spent 2 hours there before).

Ok, I have just gone unique car wash (previously over the rainbow) they are now called ace vehicle services. They only do bookings and are £20 for a valets (inside and outside). Which means hopefully less queues. Has anyone found a snow foam two bucket method car wash in south east London by any chance for around the same price?
I've used the one in Waterloo. They're fine if you can't be bothered to drive into town, and it's two buckets (two sinks). In theory they do proper, detailed washes but when I went at 1am (it's 24 hours) it was a stream of Addison Lees and chauffeur Mercedeses, so I just got a quick one.

While on the subject, does anyone know who are the people used by Nicholas Mee? They do a great job.

Sorry to bump up an old thread but picking up a new Vantage on Friday and thinking about where I’m going to get it cleaned - take my current F80 M3 down the road to The American Car Wash in Shoreditch but it’s (solid) Alpine White so very tolerant! Aston is Magentic Silver and I park under bright lights so keen to treat it a bit better...
Looking for somewhere ideally in Zone 1 or 2 that will use a two bucket method and snow foam. Just the exterior, not bothered about interior treatments as can do this myself.
Thanks!

Thanks for the (re)-recommendation of posh wash, certainly a lot of owners of expensive cars seem to trust them!
My car will have CCB unfortunately. Hopefully posh wash are familiar with this and know not to get products on them... I could always ask them not to wash the wheels, with no brake dust they probably won't need it as often anyway.
Hand washing isn't an option for me logistically (underground car park with no easy access to a hosepipe and limited drainage)
