A hand car wash in the ground-floor car park of The Palms Shopping Centre on New Brighton Road, Shirley, Christchurch, near Reading Cinemas. The business says it uses only hand washing, with pH-neutral shampoo.
The standard exterior wash includes windows and mirrors, wheel arches and wheels, tyre shine, a vacuum of the mats, footwells and seats, a cleaned dashboard and console, and cleaned door shuts, vents and plastics. Wax and polish, cut and polish, engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration and air-con treatment are also offered, along with interior and exterior valeting. Heavily soiled cars, dog hair, tar and bug removal can attract an extra fee on online bookings. Regular customers can save up to 25 percent with Smart Saver Packs, and all services are 20 percent off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Customers say the clean is thorough, efficient and good value. One customer booked an express clean at short notice and was pleased. Another says the car looked brand new, and one found the interior deep cleaned, with stains and smells removed.
