As per the title. Just moved to the area and live in a really muddy area.

Welcome to the area!

What kind of wash are looking for? One of those hand wash jobbies?

There are two that I know of. You've got one on Lower Bristol Road (postcode: BA2 9ER) in an old petrol station and there's another on 149 Rush Hill that's a similar affair.

There's also another one on the Bristol side of Saltford if you live that way.

If you just want a machine wash then there's a car wash bay in the Esso garage on Lower Bristol Road as well in town. But I wouldn't recommend one of these if you drive anything remotely nice!

If you see a cr@ppy old M3 saloon around then that's me. wavey

Same really applies to most hand wash places.

Thanks!

A hand wash is always ideal, but I don't mind a decent mechanical wash. I know it's not the most PH car, but I've got a new Volvo XC60. smile

I'm based over in Warleigh so ideally looking for something over that way, maybe near Bathford or London Road. I've got a storage unit over by the two you mentioned so I'll put those in Google Maps for next time I'm over there.

I'd rather use a machine washer than a polish hand wash, tend to leave less marks

However I wash my car myself :-)

Appreciate though not everyone wants to waste 2 hours of their weekend.

There's a Car Spa just off the A4 in Batheaston, a minute or so from the Bathampton / Batheaston roundabout. I use the one in Chippenham regularly; generally good results / care taken.

Ah, that might be the one to go for! About 5 mins from the house.
