I bought a gold service wash & wax for the princely sum of £6.99. I drove round to the tunnel(?) then carefully edged my car into position ... forward a bit ... back a bit ... perfect. Windows up? Check. Radio aerial retracted? Check. Here we go ...
The first pass was just like driving through a heavy rain shower ... but without having the wipers going at full pelt.
Then came the rollers. Eeeeeeeek ... those things are scary! Just when I thought they were going to squash my car, they lifted, parted and pummelled the top and sides with their rotating bristles instead.
You can't really see the next part in my photos, but it was basically like going through a giant hair-dryer! The blowers sent warm air over the car bodywork and windows and basically blasted away the surplus water, whilst at the same time applying a fine mist of wax ... very clever.
Now, because this was my first time going through the car-wash, DH came with me to make sure I lined my car up correctly. He assures me that he wasn't actually worried, despite the expression on his face in this photo ... tee-hee!
I realise I don't actually have a photo of my car to share but that's because I forgot to take before and after the wash photos. Oh well, maybe I'll remember the next time!

What an adventure Sue! You're so funny to actually take photos during the process. Love it! I could actually hear the music playing in the background as I read your post.
I am obsessed with your car wash photos.Don't know what it is about them, but they are sooo cool! Makes me wanna hit the car wash too (although I have no clue where the nearest one is in my town, lol!).
LOL Sue! I can see you really had fun there! And no, your hubby wasn't really worried! :)
Go to the local car valeting place, it costs the same and they even do the inside! Love that last photo though, fab expression!
yay for your first car wash! we used this type of car wash alot when we lived in Ohio, because in the winter this is the only way that the car gets washed of dirt and salt from the snowy roads.
