Good Car Wash/Valet?

af_thefragile

My car is filthy as muck on the inside and its something I can't tackle myself. Don't worry I didn't murder anyone in my car, its just after a few trips to the beach, getting a few damp spots and not getting a clean in like months, there's all sorts of stuff growing in there now... And hence I decided I'll take it to professionals (or atleast people who can do a good job) to make the interior of my car all nice and clean once again!

And so anyone know any good place where I could get the interior of my car nice and clean? I'ld prefer somewhere around Lucan area but city centre should do too...

Cheers!!

Bar some explosives for your car:p

Take all mats out, good Hoover is the first but to do. For tough stuff a hard bristled brush us great for getting stuff out. You can buy foam scrub wash for stains and see how it works. Max €20 cost and an hour of your time. If it's bad you can rent steam cleaners.

I've been disappointed by full valets in the past and did the above on my last car and it looked as good as new at 120k km.

Hmm... You see I would do it myself if I had the time but college is really busy and I need to have the car cleaned before next week so hopefully get it cleaned this weekend... It's starting to smell and there's like algae/moss growing on the passenger side floor!

You'll be without the car for a day with a valet but detailer (separate) here would be good.

I need the car nice and clean next week, so if I can get it cleaned over the weekend, it'll be perfect...

These guys do all our valeting in work and I'm consistently, very impressed with the quality of their work.

I've seen some absolute sh1t boxes head over to them and come back in near showroom condition - much better than anything I'd be able to do.

Wouldn't take too long to get from Lucan there, near the Old Nissan head office (now spin roller disco, or was last time I was over that way).

I don't have any affiliation with these guys, we just use them in work (a lot).

Theirs a place in Clondalkin near the green isle hotel in a small business park a couple of hardworking guys do a wash,dry, hoover, and polish inside (show room smell lasts a couple of weeks) and paint the black shiny stuff on your tyres for €10. Anytime I go there always taxis's there. They spend about 15 mins on each vehicle normally 2/3 working on it. Highly recommend

Their work is a hell of a lot better than the website.

Anyone on the northside of Dublin come recommended for a good wash? Living in an apartment sucks with regards car-washing

Just another plus-one for Elite Autoclean near the Phibsboro Road/Western Way junction.

They'll wash a car for 7 quid.

A week ago I got wash, wax and clean inside for 30 quid. All 3 of these jobs were done well.

Whoever cleaned the inside had found some change under the seats amounting to a few euros. And rather than putting it into his own pocket, which being honest I might well have been tempted to do myself, he left it on the dash.

Have used these guys 3 or 4 times now (I live nearby) and each time have come away well happy

Needless to say I am not connected with them in any capacity.

I used this thread to find a valet so I thought I'd report back. Yet another +1 for autoclean, did a great job on my Fiat 500, real attention to detail. He wasn't sure he'd got my (white!) seats right cos they weren't quite dry but I needed to head off and was asking him to put some plastic on them. He did that but said have a good look at the seats in the morning and if they're not perfect drop back down to me. They appear to be mad into their cars down there which is exactly what you want when someone is cleaning yours. Recommended.
