Been living in Edinburgh for the past two years but early this year I moved from a complex just off Broughtan Rd and now am on Dundas.

When I first moved I had to get use to not having my own driveway but as I was ground floor I could still wash my lotus by being clever with hoses and leads for the powerjet etc. However I am now in a position that I'm a few stories up and park around the corner due to lack of space outside my door....

So to get around I have been going to the shell garage and getting 2 bronze washes and used my wash mitt and dry cloths a iiding using their brushes.... But this isnt pratical. Is there any decent car washes either in Edinburgh or Rosyth where I can either use the facilities for a price or any that use a paint safe method of car cleaning. Btw it's for my Z4M so isn't to precious but dont want to get to next summer and be faced with swirls that'll require attention

Thanks

I have used these guys on Ferry Road n the past.

They sprayed foam onto the car and then washed it off with a pressure washer lance thing. They also did the alloys with brake dust cleaner and waxed the car for £7 iirc.

I would use them again.

I'd highly recommend the guys on the ground floor of Ocean Terminal. Did a really good job on my last car. You do have to book ahead though as they are stupidly busy.
