Are there any hand car wash places in Newton Abbot or nearby that people can recommend? Much appreciated.

I can't think of any off hand. I know there's one near the McDonalds coming into Torquay. There used to be one on Wolborough street until is was closed.

My mate told me Clean-A-Car Southwest are pretty good - http://tinyurl.com/38zau7f

Think they come direct to your door (or car) too!

I remember the one in Wolborough Street, next to Asda. Some young lads were doing it but it stopped after a couple of weeks. Maybe they didn't have the council's permission. It's a shame because they were showing some initiative.

Such a good idea to go to a hand car wash, not one of the big machines. For anyone who doesn't already know, they wreck your paintwork. You may as well go through the monkey section of a safari park if you want to voluntarily cause damage. However, I also recommend avoiding the one near McDonalds. Of course, at this time of year, there are plenty of people wanting to earn extra pennies - we now have our neighbour's son to wash and clean our car. He doesn't have all the equipment that the hand car-wash places do, but he does a good job. Why not ask around to see if you have friends or relations with a youngster who wants to do it for you?
