    Wharfside Valet in Canary Wharf - any recommendations?

    I would do the whole detailing thing myself - I just spent some cash on decent gear - but I've got a water supply issue at the moment and just need the car cleaned! It's a 2 week old brilliant black A3 and I'm keen to get it sorted soon

    Wharfside Valet in Canary Wharf - any recommendations?
