  DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. Going to this car wash was the worst thing I've ever done to my car. I usually clean my own car, and am pretty meticulous about my alloy wheels. Apart from doing a pretty shoddy job on the body, this car wash has used some sort of corrosive wheel cleaner. I'm sure this is probably fine if it's all rinsed off straight away, but it obviously was not washed off properly. I noticed that the wheels didn't look as clean as I liked after the wash but figured for $20, I couldn't expect the most fastidious clean. What I didn't expect in return for my money was for my car to be essentially 'vandalised'. I spent every afternoon/evening of the following Monday-Thursday (probably 16 hours in total) trying to clean off the surface corrosion from my wheels. In the end I needed to use wet&dry sandpaper on the inside of the rims, and they haven't looked the same since. Needless to say, I won't be using this company again and am loath to ever go to another car washing business again. Photos attached are of the wheels removed and scrubbed, before I resorted to sandpaper.
