Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WASHA.
The Rinse-Less Method
How does rinse-less car washing work?▼
We use a specially formulated biodegradable solution that encapsulates dirt particles. When sprayed on your car, it lifts dirt away from the surface, which we then gently wipe away with premium microfiber towels. No water hose needed, no runoff pollution.
Is it safe for my car's paint?▼
Absolutely. Our pH-neutral formula is designed for all paint finishes, including ceramic coatings and PPF. The encapsulation technology prevents scratching by lifting dirt rather than scrubbing it. We've cleaned thousands of cars without a single paint issue.
Will it work on a very dirty car?▼
Yes, but we may apply an 'extra dirty' surcharge (+£10) for heavily soiled vehicles with caked mud, excessive bird droppings, or road grime. This allows us to use extra product and time to ensure a safe, thorough clean.
Booking & Service
How long does a wash take?▼
Our Exterior Wash takes about 30 minutes. Deep Clean is around 45 minutes. Full Valet takes 90 minutes. Premium Detail can take 2-3 hours depending on the vehicle size and condition.
Do I need to be present during the wash?▼
Not necessarily. As long as we can access the vehicle and you've provided any gate codes or parking instructions, we can complete the wash. We'll send you before/after photos when done.
What if it's raining?▼
Light rain is usually fine—we can still wash your car. For heavy rain, we'll contact you to reschedule at no charge. We monitor weather closely and will proactively reach out if conditions look unfavorable.
Can I reschedule or cancel?▼
Yes. Cancel or reschedule for free up to 2 hours before your appointment. Cancellations within 2 hours may incur a £10 fee. Subscriptions can be paused or cancelled anytime.

No problem! Our rinse-less method is perfect for street parking. There's no water hose, no runoff, and no mess. We're fully legal and won't cause any issues with neighbors or the council.

Yes, we wash vans up to standard Transit size. For larger vehicles or fleets, please contact us directly for a custom quote.
What payment methods do you accept?▼
We accept all major credit/debit cards via Stripe. You can pay online when booking or pay on completion—your choice.
Do you take before/after photos?▼
