Self service carwash

MSporty

Does anyone know of any self service car washes in north dublin, one where you wash your own car, but they provide a sheltered bay, water etc. Like to wash my car myself but hate all the messing around with hoses but dont want someone else scraping my paintwork cos they dont give a b***ox etc.

Yeah self service.... same as you, I dont like idiots washing my car ! (and I like doing it anyway !)

Basic set up, but the jets have good pressure and good soft brushes etc etc

No brushes!! learnt that lesson a few years ago on an old car I had, some young lad washed it with a sweeping brush, you can guess the rest. Always wash my car by hand, but have a pain in my a**e with setting up hoses etc, and then the water freezes on the driveway aswell. Even willing to pay the odd time for someone else to wash it, anyone know of a decent place in North Co. Dublin, somewhere that does it right and doesn't use dirty water etc.

Hey guys, I use the hand car wash in ClareHall shopping centre. They wash the whole car by hand and they do a great job it normally takes them about 15 min but the car looks brand new when there finished and they also do valeting for €30 best car wash ive ever gone too. They also have them in Artane and Clearwater anyone else get there car done i think the job they do is fab:D:D

what is your definitioj of North. Co. Dublin.
There is a new petrol station (Apple) just opened at the Balbriggan exit of the M1 (R132) and they have an automatic car wash and a self service one that you just put coins into depending on how much you want to do. I'm going to use it... it's handy to just stick €2 in and get the heavy muck off once a week or so.

Bit further than you might want to go, but Funtasia in Bettystown have 3 or 4 covered bays in the car park with pressure washers. Never used them myself (not that fussy about keeping the car clean) but it's usually fairly busy on a Sunday and the huge amounts of blue suds on the cars look like they'd do the job.

Plus, you can spend an hour on the driving games inside before getting down to the was
