the best car wash

dont like the blue elephant chain as when ever you put money in it seems to be gone very very quickly

so in descending order

5. blue elephant lagoa
4. galp silves...water pressure not high enough..car often still dirty after wash
3. total lagoa...new car wash...good finish good value
2. new car wash messine...lot of programmes good value
number 1...cepsa on road into a de pera from alcantilha..seem to get ages of time for your money and lots of good programmes to choose from..in fact you get so long I almost have to put the lance down still running as I washed the car and dont know what else to do next

This has brought back an idea that H and I had a few years back..
we thought of setting up a valeting service for cars in Algarve
we actually talked it over with a company(in UK) who would have given us a vehicle and all the equipement etc...
but at the interview, they wanted to have our house as collateral, and we thought it too big a risk..
But it did seem a good idea at the time,
alas, another little dream that didn't come into fruition

well funny you should mention that ..in the underground car park at Guia shopping centre there is a firm that does that service...loads of options...very extensive list...but a but pricey..the idea is to leave your mercedes there and do you shopping and when you come out...mmmmm

Not too sure about the underground car wash at Guia. I think they use a very strong detergent to wash the cars. I took my Mercedes in there for a wash, and when I came to collect it the car had shrunk to a Clio
