I find the local Turks or Russians are better at washing my car than the Poles, £5 and they do an amazing job, I always give then a couple of £'s extra because they do a £20 job for £5.
I always go over it with some polish when I get home though and I do the interior myself. I'm not paying for someone to hoover a couple of mats.
Maybe you should try some clay?

The easiest thing to do is go to Halfrauds.
Buy Megs or Autoglym shampoo, clay bar kit, interior detailer and wax. Possibly a carpet foam shampoo if required.
Go to Asda and but 'Kent' microfibre cloths for about 4 quid a pack. (or get ripped off at Halfrauds)
Get a bucket.
A sponge.
Read instructions on said products if unsure.
Cleeeean!
Valets are awesome but they cost money every time. You'll have these products for ages to re-use.
