A proper car wash is not a quick rinse at a fuel station and not a brush tunnel. At the JustCars studio in Almancil your car gets a safe, late-contact hand wash — the dirt is lifted before anything touches the paint, so no swirl marks are added while the car gets clean.
Same price for every car size.
Almancil has no shortage of mobile car wash and valeting services that come to your villa, hotel or office — convenient for a quick freshen-up. A studio wash plays a different role: controlled light to actually see the paint, proper water and power on tap, and the full product bench for paint decontamination, wheels, tyres and glass. If you can't come to us, we come to you a different way: free pickup and delivery within 15 km of the studio — Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura and around — and your car is washed at studio standard, not driveway standard.
“I still flinch when I see a car roll into a brush tunnel — that's where most swirl marks are born. In my studio the order never changes: dirt lifted before anything touches the paint, coated car or not.”
The 1-hour express hand wash (€75) is the maintenance wash. The 3-hour detailed wash (€150) adds interior care, door shuts and dressing — closer to what mobile valets sell as a 'full valet', done under studio conditions. The 8-hour deep clean (€300) is the reset button: upholstery extraction, leather cleaning, vents, boot, every millimetre. After extraction cleaning the car is handed back dry, not damp.
Ceramic-coated cars, PPF and vinyl wraps need a wash that respects the protection: pH-neutral chemistry, no brushes, pressure kept away from film edges. It's the same care routine that keeps a STEK film warranty alive — and if your protection was fitted elsewhere with XPEL, GTECHNIQ or Gyeon products, the safe-wash rules are the same and we follow them. Members of our Care Club wash at −50%, as often as they like.
We work the other way around: instead of washing on your driveway, we collect the car free within 15 km — Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura included — wash it at the studio under proper light and bring it back. Studio result, mobile convenience.
Yes. Brush tunnels drag grit across the paint and are the classic source of swirl marks. A late-contact hand wash removes the heavy dirt before any mitt touches the car.
That's our daily bread — pH-neutral products, no brushes, pressure away from film edges. Tell us the car is protected when you book and the routine adjusts automatically.
At JustCars: €75 for the 1-hour express hand wash, €150 for the 3-hour detailed wash, €300 for the 8-hour deep clean. Published prices — no surprises at pickup.
