Is a regular car wash even enough here or am I wasting dirhams?

[Ben Dwarshius]

I’ve been going to one of those hand car wash spots in Mussafah every two weeks and honestly I’m starting to think they just move the dirt around instead of actually removing it, because my white car still looks dull and has this weird film that water doesn’t bead on anymore. Someone at work told me to look at http://exoticcarcare.ae/car-wash-abu-dhabi/ and I realized I don’t even know what a proper wash includes versus a quick spray and wipe. Like, are they supposed to use different buckets and towels? Do they clean the door jambs and inside the fuel cap? I feel stupid asking but I’ve lived here three years and never really thought about it until now. What do you guys consider a basic acceptable wash that won’t destroy the paint over time?
