Rainbow Carwash Park Royal

[sleep envy]

I happened to bump into this place on the way back from Gaydon earlier today - they're next door to the Ace Cafe.

They've just started up but are doing two bucket car washes - saved me the bother of doing it myself all for £10

snow foam, two bucket wash, micro cloth dry and vacuum - very impressed and highly recommended

will be going back once they've got their airline up and running

Must take em ages to do .......surely a 2 bucket wash can't be commercially viable?.....takes me about an hour to properly two bucket my car......

And if it takes a while, bacon roll and coffee at The Ace! Thanks - will look into it....

the owner did say that he'll be looking to put his price up later in the year to £15 and it does take a while, especially if there's a queue but as Doug says you can pop next door for a mug of tea and a sarnie whilst you wait - I was there just over an hour

tbh I only took advantage of it because I was knackered after an early start and couldnt be arsed getting all the kit out

Could be viable as a business. You see many posts from PHers that are reluctant to use the £3 a go hand washes on the basis that they use a bucketful of gritty water etc. How much are people that care about their cars willing to pay for a decent wash? I would hazard a guess that between £10 to £15 through the winter months when it is just too much of a grind to do it yourself.

I used to pay a place £10 a go some years ago. It wasn't quite a two bucket wash, but it was done with care with clean water and good products.
