I know there's a few round Stafford but can anyone recommend me one?

Looking for the whole shaa-bang, valet and clean, inside and out!

How long does it take? How much, and what can I do in the mean time?

Thanks!

Silkmore Lane, just by the Co-op. They do a cracking job there. The one on the Island isn't bad either.

The Latvians on the stone road are good, quick & cheap... And you get a 'free' air freshener too!

Thanks John, do you know how much the one on the Island is? Thinking I can pop into town while I'm waiting!

Can't remember how much it is at the Island but it's £10 for a mini valet inside and out at Silkmore Lane, so I can't see it being much more than that.

Over on the Island - I think Inside and Out is £10

A mini valet is £25 including "free" air freshener too - I've had mine mini - valeted a few times and it always looks mint. God knows what extra they do in their "Full Valet"

The guys opposite Triumph Lighting on Greyfriars will swamp your car with men if you're in a hurry and always do a good job. Often busy at weekends though, a good sign surely.

A £10 wash should sort the dirtiest of car out, a full valet is approaching £25 from memory.

I will most certainly taking your advice next time!

I thought to myself 'I'm being lazy I can do it!'

3 hours later! I'm exhausted! Only just regained feeling in my fingers!

The things you do for valentines day!

I use the one on the Stone Road. Always a decent job and a good price. Think its a fiver for a wash and £8 for a mini valet.
The car wash places don't do a proper valet IMHO. Just a quick once over the likes of which you might do yourself on a Sunday afternoon. Now if you want a proper job doing (for example if you were selling the car) then I have used this company before:

They were really good. Two people worked constantly on the car all morning and all for £65. That is shampoo the carpets, seats and headlining and machine polish the bodywork. Its a different league to the quick once over you get at the car wash. At the time we had a people carrier with a cream interior so you can imagine how bad it was inside as the previous owners were filthy pigs by all accounts.

I don't think I'd like my car swamped with men. It's bad enough with one of them criticising my driving.

Cant remember the prices but there are some guys down by halford. Really good and thorough outside wash with shiny stuff on tyres is £5

I love the guys on the roundabout.

I have a filthy bitch ( a dog before you start ) and after a few trips up to Cannock chase the inside of my car looks like a skip.

It's worth £10 to get a good inside and out, a free air freshener, save £2 on parking coz I go off into town and get my nails done and they are easy on the eye.
