    My local place does it for €7 hand wash with proper gear no brushes hand dry, dress the tyres clean sills and doors. Clean all the glass. Can't say I have ever felt bad about them charging that its not up to me to decide they are charging too little.

    They aren't always working for themselves. The lad scrubbing your car might see a few euros out of that €7

    I agree with wotz tbh.

    Same around here two sets of eastern Europeans at the two local applegreens €7 handwash (no brushes) and dry and they do a fine job. They'll do a hand wash on its own for a fiver. Sound bucks too.

    They've a queue of cars everytime I've passed them. Takes them 30min for standard wash like they did to mine. Charge €20 for interior and exterior which takes them 40min as one does interior while the other exterior. They make their money on volume. And yes they got a tip.

    What people don't seem to be aware of is the fact that the ban only applies to domestic hose pipes. They can't exactly ask these businesses to close down and not pay wages.

    Yup!

    Having said that since I bought my bangernomics three months ago it hasn't seen so much as a sponge.

    Car not washed in 4 weeks with the water restrictions. Broke a cardinal rule and brought it to a local mobile car wash/valet bunch who did a great job. No brushes used, car hand dried and wheels dressed, for €10.

    Where is this?!

    That is gorgeous. Great colour and wheels. One of my favourite driving cars from the '90s.
