Is the complimentary car wash HR Owen offers with Lambo service good?

Do you recommend it? Do they use any harsh substance? is it suitable for PPF? or you'd recommend an alternative in London?

Appreciate any feedback/colour.

Cheers

If your car is fully PPFd then you have nothing to worry about...

I don't know the specific HR Owen details but personally I don't let garages clean my cars whether with PPF or not.
The guys that do it are not generally specialists and I've watched them 'attack' cars with pressure washers which is not nice to see.
Just my opinion

Thanks both.

I'm curious, outside of "garages" or services, are there any particular washers you recommend in London?

which specialists do you recommend? It seems all the ones I looked up use power washers, even the mobile ones.

I found topaz at peninsula - they seem to have 5/5 on google.

I also came across tinocarcare.com - he has a youtube channel washing all top cars.

Also any particular air freshner you recommend as being the best?


Appreciate any recommendations/advice.


Cheers gents!

Jet washers have a use in careful proper car cleaning/detailing. The temptation is to use too much pressure and blast everything off, it saves time and gets things clean whilst also doing some damage.

I wince when I see people blasting tyres, brake calipers and the front scuttle which can lead to water ingress around the firewall.

The simple guide is you shouldn't hit the car with a jet that you wouldn't be happy putting your hand in front of.

I've used Battersea Power wash https://batterseapowerwash.com/ ... There's a clue in the name as to where they are based, in the underground car park at Battersea!

I'm quite picky, but the boss is absolutely a level up and ensures everything is done properly. They look after plenty of cars valued at £3m+, so my little GTS was in good hands and I had them ceramic coat it too.

There may be a new location opening soon in the West End.
