Car Park Valeting

Have any of you heard of Car Park Valeting Ltd?

They are a franchise that seem to be popping up on supermarket car parks, offering car cleaning while you shop. There is one near me in Blackpool.

Has anyone had any experience with them? Are they any good?

thing is i dont like the fact that they only have a shopping trolley worth of water, to me thats not enough to wash a car

We have similar companies working in a lot of our supermarkets and town car parks. My personal opinion is to steer clear, like Mark said they only have a trolly worth of water and I'm not sure on how regularly the sponges and things they use are changed. They often do a quick cheap job but I'm not sure it's worth the hassel if something goes wrong.
I'm not sure they are Car Park Valeting, but certainly the same idea.

Id never use them personally, most of the time ive seen them washing cars it's with a dirty bucket of soapy water and a beaten up chamois leather....

No thanks ill wash it myself and avoid some rather nasty swirl marks

They are at our local Tesco's. Every time I park they're at my door and every time I tell them the only person who washes my car is ME. Jeez it's not like my car's difficult to remember. Total PITA!!
