Car Wash

Post by maurine » Sun Aug 09, 2009 9:49 pm

Where can i take my car to be cleaned? inside and outside that is. I am too lazy to wash it, the last time i cleaned it was 3 months ago and i happened to go to automatic car wash. which of course the job was not well done and it excluded inside :). I specifically need a place where someone else can do the job and get paid. can i get this kind of service in Helsinki?

There is one in sello.
Deep inside their underground parking near the entrance to Sello Rex.
Be prepared to pay big bucks though.

I cannot remember the exact prices, but was it was from around 30€ for a quick exterior wash to 1XX€ for the full package incl. interior cleaning. Pricing was so much that I felt REALLY good doing it by myself at home later that day.

Back to topic: The pricing is really not that bad if you look at what you get:

Lacquercleaning, waxing, polishing, rubbertreatment, dashboardcleaning, enginecleaning etc etc. Last time I had one done in Denmark, price was around 3000 Dkr / 400e. The car looked brand new after that.

But doing it yourself is a nice way of looking your car over. Many times, a dent or a scratch in the paint was discovered during my Sunday handwash of the car - and thus could be fixed before it developed into something nasty later on.

Anyone going to bang the gavel on this negotiation?
As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.

When you stop to think about it, that also makes a good argument for leisurely Sunday sex with good northern light through the window.
