    Does anyone know of a good tended car wash in town?

    I used to go to Mega Suds out on Cork Road but I belive they are gone now. Noel's I find poor as car never looks or seems properly washed.

    Thanks

    The only place I use is CleanCar in New Ross (turn left before the bridge). It's worth the drive down TBH.

    I always get my car done in City Square. €15 for a hoover inside and a quick (but decent) wash outside. Looks like new on the outside.

    I go to the car wash just behind the maxol garage opposite the peoples park. I think they do a pretty good job and are only 7 euro. Used to go to noels but wasn't happy as the car didnt seem fully cleaned :rolleyes:

    Oh great I was wondering if someone had taken over that and it was still open.
    €7 is very good too.
    Do you know what hours they work by any chance?

    €5 for the one on the abbey park road. Also get free one with every 5 done. They do them mainly by hand. The power washer only comes out at the end for a rinse and this gives you a better job I think

    I think tesco Ardkeen has a car wash handy if you want to do you shopping while you wait

    They havn't been there after 5pm when I went down before, I'd say they stay open though if its busy. Think they start at 10am aswel:D

    Also the 7 euro includes a wax. Its just a light spray form but it still does make the car look that bit nicer

    Yeah I always find it pretty good. At a fiver, you can't go wrong and it's very handy for me on my way home from work.

    I'm not a huge fan of attended car washes as the car is still wet afterwards and you get streaks. I use the automatic one in Texaco on the military road, €7 and you get a hot wash, wax and double-dry (backwards and forwards) and the car comes out gleaming after it.

    However, it doesn't do a fantastic job on alloys, can't get in between all the spokes.

    I used the automatic car wash at the petrol station near Cleaboy recently and I couldn't believe how good a wash it was. Certainly far better than the last few washes from Noel's car wash which is where I'd usually go. I'd rather give the money to someone who's earning a wage from it, but the automated wash was just so good! :o

    I always went to noels but haven't washed it with ages. Funnily enough living in the country and bad weather are not a good combo for a sparkling car :eek: Is Noels gone downhill recently or did people always find it? I was always happy with the job :D
