Waves Hand Car Wash

Our Take

Reviewers are split on quality, with some praising thorough washes and friendly staff for around £15, while others report scratched paint, missed dirt, and poor drying. Communication difficulties and the need to pay by bank transfer in advance also frustrate some customers.

Wish I could give a 0 star. Never using them again. Did a shabby job of cleaning outside and didn't vaccum the boot. Car looks patchy after next morning, probably some low quality cleaning stuff.

One Star is Too Generous – This Carwash is a Crime Against Cars I don't even know where to start. If you're looking for a place to ruin your car while pretending to clean it, congratulations – you've found the holy grail of disappointment. After going through this sorry excuse for a carwash, I came out the other side with more micro scratches than I went in with – it’s like they handed my car to a cat and said, “Go nuts.” Not only was the paint noticeably damaged, but stains and dirt were STILL clearly visible. What exactly did I pay for? A wet car with a new set of fine scratches? The drying job was pathetic – streaks everywhere, water spots galore. It looked like they hired someone to not clean the car on purpose. If I wanted a half-assed rinse with a side of damage, I would’ve just parked in the rain next to a sandstorm. Avoid this place like the plague if you care about your car. Or don’t – maybe you like being angry and disappointed. Up to you.

Avoid at all costs. Didn't notice til I got home, due to being wet. Loads of dirt left on bodywork. Windows left dirty. Roof and wheels not even touched apart from a quick spray. Had to redo it myself when I got home from work. By far the worst car wash I've ever had. 0/5

Terrible service, I had to ask for a receipt couple of times after I was asked to pay in advance by a “bank transfer” and they did an awful job with drying the car.

I thought they were thorough with the outside wash of the cars, mine and others I saw while waiting. I found the price comparable to others but a better wash than some others, particularly the car wash at Taxeco opposite M&S. I'll stick with these guys because they are friendly, polite and thorough. Used on Monday lunchtime, got a mini vallet for £15 for a small car, hand washed the outside, cleaned wheels and interior, there was a steady flow of cars, my car took 40mins including wait. I would recommend these guys
