There was a touch free one near me but they got rid of it after about 18 months and got a normal one.

There is actually a manual coin operated one up the road from me too! It's handy when you don't wanna set up the power washer at home.
I always end up feeling it loads of €1 coins though.

Those manual car washes are very popular over here, they do more harm than good thought tbh.

There are plenty of manual washes here... But not like those American ones.. Ours are just a power wash with barely any soap... No spot free or wax etc

For the first video you would end up with a half washed car here in Ireland. That may work in the US but not here,

I lived in the Czech republic for a number of years, and there was an advert across from my flat advertising the special car wash down the road.For 150CZK, which is about 6 euros, 4 girls would wash your car while in bikinis.

I dont have a car but I wish I did every time I saw that ad.

Ya good question where in Limerick?

Theres plenty of manual operated washes. Most petrol stations will let you do it yourself with their setup if you ask. I just bring wheel cleaner & a drying aid and save the hassle of setting up power washer at home.

To be honest when I saw the thread title I expected something like this. I'd excuse a few swirls marks for that kinda service. Few grim lads beating my car with brushes in a garage forecourt... no thanks.


swiftcarwash out ballysimon is a decent setup, maybe thats the Limerick place mentioned by lab man.

The blow dryer would be a major advantage over your average "feed machine with coins" self service.
