I´ve just bought an Alfa Romeo Giulia QV with the optional Competizione mica red. Obviously as this is a high(ish) value car and the paint was an expensive option I want to look after it correctly but as I´m quite time-poor I would rather use some form of service.

There are many disparaging comments over several PH posts/forums about hand car washes, so can I trust the new-style automated car washes, such as this one in Basildump?

I took my Golf R through there a couple of times and it seemed relatively "gentle" while at the same time giving a really nice result.

Generally I don´t have time to leave the car with a detailing company. I´m in south Essex.

Thanks in advance!

Update: as suggested above bought a Karcher pressure washer (current promotion in Halfords), as well as some other bits and pieces.

It's my new favourite thing!

Thanks all for the advice.
