    ..I am putting my Octavia Estate on e-Bay and it could do with a good clean inside out and alloys but as it is 10 years old it has signs of 'wear and tear' for a car that age, and has also just returned from a 2500 mile round trip to Italy and back, there is no point going mad.

    Want to get it done today or tomorrow really so I can take pictures and get it listed.

    Ta!

    Re: Non-footy post:Yer! Thanks for that but I was hoping for ...

    .. a recommendation from someone who had used one of them or knoew of someone who had used one of them and been satisfied. If I wanted a list of all the local valeters I can do that online or in the Barnsley Comical/Independent.

    As opposed to expensive ones that don't charge a lot or the cheap ones that cost a lot!

    Not bothered about the one on New Street. The best one I've been to is the one on Wombwell Lane/Aldham Bridge near the Ash in Wombwell. About £15 for a mini valet or £30 odd for them to come and collect and spend 4 hours on it. Well worth it.

    They do a good job at Dreams on Donny roooad (opp old Ted johnsons). Think they charge about £15 for a "mini" valet and wash etc - I'll be taking mine in today.

    Just didn't do as good a job as the lads down Wombwell. Seemed to take a bit more care, got in all the nooks and crannies where the New Street was just a hoover and windows cleaning.

    They're the ones I used when I was selling mine.

    best bet for cheap and cheerful

    get the hoover out and the sponge and a bit of polish.

    Take about 2 hours and have a nice shiny clean car that smells nice.

    job done and saved some cash :)
