i used to pay £15 for my mums car to be given a good clean when she use to pick me up from college (about 3 years ago). so i personally would pay no more than a £12 for a good clean, & i would want to see that they were using decent cleaning products too. Not just fairy liquid with its abrasive salt bit that will scratch my body work, also i would not want them to scratch my titanium exhaust so i think all in all i would just clean it myself. that way i would know i have done a good job & taken care when doing so.

A proper good job should take upwards of 4 hours and should be priced accordingly (£70-80). That's how long i take.

Sorry , I meant you must be having a laugh if you would expect to pay no more than £12 for a good clean.

In other words that is a bit of a pi$$ take.
