Good to Know
> 🚗 **Regular washes?** I can set up a monthly service - same day each month, car's always clean, you don't have to think about it. **Often combined with:** - Car interior clean - Wax and polish - Headlight restoration **Winter tip:** Salt from roads wrecks paint and causes rust. More frequent washes in winter actually save you money long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions about Car exterior wash in Honiton
Why pay someone to wash my car when there's a car wash down the road?
Because automatic car washes scratch your paint with their brushes, and standing in a jet wash bay in the rain is miserable. I come to your home, hand wash it properly while you're doing other stuff, dry it off so there's no water spots. It's convenience and better results.
Do I need to provide water and equipment?
If you've got an outside tap I can use, that's perfect. I bring all the wash equipment, soap, buckets, and cloths. If you haven't got outside water access, let me know when booking - might need a different setup.
Will you clean the windows as well?
Yes - full exterior wash includes windows, mirrors, lights, the lot. Not just the paint. You'll be able to see out of them again.
Can you do it on my driveway or does it need to be on grass?
Driveway's fine - that's where most people want it done. Just needs somewhere for runoff water to go (drain or soakaway). Gravel, tarmac, concrete, block paving - all work.
How long does a proper wash take?
45 minutes to an hour for a standard car. Longer if it's properly minging or you've got a massive SUV. I'll give you a time estimate when you book.
