Car cleaning/valet near Wadebridge
Hi,

Anyone know of a facility with a ramp that would allow thorough cleaning of the chassis? Dreaded sea water and salt so need to get off ASAP and don’t have my own facilities where I am.

Thanks

Welcome to use it but can’t use a pressure washer in the unit as it’s my work unit , but ideal for bushing out all the crap from hidden places Thumbs Up are you in Wadebridge ?

Might be worth getting a lawn sprayer connected to a hose then move it around under the car for half an hour,

That will help get the underside soaked, then use a jet wash, let it dry then take up the offer to use the ramps. Will make you and the workshop less messy.

I saw somewhere on the inter web a video of a driveway/footpath washer that had been altered and used up side down to clean the underside of a Land Rover . Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Not that I’m aware of and I live just outside Wadebridge.
There’s a nice chap close to Roche who has a bit of a hill billy outfit but absolutely ideal for a steam clean or pressure wash. He’s got one of those huge concrete HGV ramps . I’ve taken mine to him a few times .

If you’re passing Launceston then as Sulusuli says, Vanstones is very good indeed . They also have a concrete ramp outside https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/
