    Hey folks,
    I'm looking for someone to do a regular and proper car wax every month or so.
    Any recommendations in the Drogheda/Swords area?
    I took the number down from the Colpe Cross car wash (Vinny) but can't get through?
    Cheers

    I use Dowley's car wash myself - they're in one of the industrial areas off the Donore Rd (turn left after passing the Maxol garage when heading away from town). There is a fingerpost sign, and they're at the end of the road on the left.

    I haven't used their valet service, though I've seen it advertised. Always been happy with the carwash.

    The lads in Scotch Hall car park do a great job... and they're reasonable enough too.
    Think a mini-valet cost me 15/20 squids or so!

    Have always had a fantastic job done on my car when I've left it with the Dowley brothers. Definite recommendation.

    I used the Dowleys as well and it was a quality job.

    OP,

    There is a massive detail between a valet and detailing. Check out the detailing forum on boards.

    For example, a normal valet operation may use sponges or cheaper washing equipment. A detailer will never use this as they trap grit which is then rubbed onto your paintwork causing swirls and tiny marks. I've seen the €7 type operations use sponges on car after car.

    If you want a good job in Drogheda, check these guys out. They are a little pricier but the products and technique that they use are excellent. (I have no connection to them but use them).

    If you are looking only at once a month, they would be ideal for you.

    Plus one for Flawless Detailing! I normally get a mini valet off them - costs around 30/35 euro - can't remember off the top of my head! But they do a great job! I'm the kind of person who washes their car on a bi-annual basis :o and I have kids who climb over my seats with mucky shoes. Flawless leave it looking like a new car every time!

    The mini valet is great value. Between football boots, bad weather etc, the interior can get destroyed at this time of year. They do a great job - I wouldn't do it myself for €40!!

    Guys the thread is 5 years old...

    I'm sure the op has found where to wash in that time.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,441 ✭✭✭CheerLouth

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭PGE1970


    Never noticed either - the poor OP's car must be in an awful state by now!!!
