Decent car wash.

Car wash itself was very good, but I do think the pre wash could have been better, a quick rub of a brush in certain areas in my opinion does not account for a pre wash. Half my windscreen was missed.

Loved the QR code

Loved the QR code, meant I could pay whilst waiting in the que. The overall wash was brilliant and couldn’t fault it.

My only comment would be to put a sign with the instructions on turning off auto handbrake engine on etc to be displayed before driving in. I was confused and flustered trying to work it out whilst in the actual car wash.

This was Newbury RG14 but it doesn’t appear in your dropdown below.

Generally good

Generally good, but the jets that spray different products during the process are often blocked and don't provide even coverage over the car. Feels like I'm not getting what I paid for. Drying is not very efficient and vertical drying mats are missing.
