we do ours in the shell garage in edinbugh way harlow. you pay for time and wash it yourself with the brushes and hoses. its a good quick fix but usually have to go over again after for really stubbon dirt. works for us tho. would never go through a car wash in any car let alone the scoob. did it once with a friends car and it put a MASSIVE scratch down her front she went mad but the garage woudnt do anything. dont trust the machines. you want something done properly you gotta do it yourself

Mind you the picture makes it look like the blue one has white wheels, surely nobody would be foolish enough to do that?

Thing is with these garage brushes your not the only one using them, take into account that there was a builders van in there before you caked in mud and grit, he's just washed it all off using that brush (and his wheels) now you've just pushed it all over your lovely scoob!
I can understand that not everyone has facilaties at home to do a good job, but you could use the hot soap and wax from these places but take a bucket a sponge!

Your mad! 
We didnt even take the Escort to a drive through car wash.
I used to valet cars for my first business, i know for a fact that these places use cheep products ie washing up liquid, the dont give a damb about your motor! (they cant do for a tenner!)
I used to (and still do) use 2 buckets, 2 sponges, 2 leathers, one for above the bumper line, and one below! your better off paying abit more getting someone who knows what their doing!

Not when they're using sponges and leathers they don't
