When I went back with my car I asked for 'Wash 1 please' (£3.50).......No difference really apart from the under chassis application.
The cheapest wash is £1.99 this comes with no pre wash! So now thinking about it, Wash 1 comes with pre wash, today they say no pre wash so surly this is now a £1.99 wash, not a £3.50 wash!!

The 55 needs a wash so might go back there later on and tackle them about this. o_O
Wash 1 and Express Wash are exactly the same in the tunnel. The only difference is the prewash that you get with Wash 1.
Of course if you go for an Express wash and once you been through if the car isn’t totally clean just go back around... and complain that you paid for a wash and it’s not clean :cool:
Best value is probably the triple foam unless you have vouchers (ahem ;)) then Proshield all the way.

Done nothing but sit on my couch today but getting the jetwash and snow foam out tomorrow to give the car a good wash as it's going to be sunny up here. I'm back on a 3day week because of the virus so it's about time the car got some loving :)

Its side to side or front to rear rotation depending on size/directional.

Years ago merc used to rotate and inspect tyres as part of the service.

Bet he sees some Gritting action up there, John. :)
Constant Tony, he had the plough on last week too and is due to get it on again tonight. He is now calling his "Spreaditor", as a lot are named quite interestingly.....:p
