I am not one for washing my own car, and I am coming to Melbourne for the FPV open day and still want it to look it's best, can someone recommend a good 'hand wash' car cleaning centre in Melbourne (preferably near Ashley Gardens).

I can highly recommend Final Inspection in Brunswick. It has new owners since I went there, but the guy that set it up collects and filters water, used microfibre everything for wash and dry. My car came out of there looking awesome.
