You certainly know how to clean a car. How long on average does it take you to clean a car.

just the outside takes an avergae of 5hrs but this can depend on what car it is as all cars have different hardness of paint, the MG's have soft paint so they cut back very quick, unlike BMW & mereceds where there paint is like concrete and does take a lot longer to do, but it also depend on which wax they want applying as one of my waxes has to be massaged into the paint by using the palms of your hand and this takes some time to do.



wheres all the previous posts gone lol

Hmm the lorry in the background

Driven By some Polish twonks who had forgotten to put water into his expansion bottle

After the Valet a few niggly bits have appeared that are annoying me (Nothing To Do With Steve BTW) so im having them resprayed up like my rear spoiler which TBH hasnt been brill since i fitted it and has always needed a respray, The Drivers Door where some clown has decided to smash theyre door onto it and has Ripped all the paint off Inc Basecoat, and a little bit of my rear bumper and quater panal as the bloke who had it before me did a really crap touch up job and its been on my todo list for a while

Thank god a new bodyshop has opened up on the Estate i work on so im having it all dont theyre for £110 and i also know the chap to so no bodgin will be involved

Im sure a very good job is done by this car cleaner person, but......i really dont see the need to go to all of this trouble...i wash mine once a week and it comes up looking like new. No tar spots, blemishes etc. Just a very clean zs, and i quite enjoy it anyway!

allways one kill joy lol

Thing is this car hasnt been cleaned properley in over 6 months as im a very busy lad and dont have 5 hours free, my paint was like sandpaper and if even attempted it id end up fookin the paint up so steves expertise came in very very handy

And I'm gonna nick his exhaust while he is fighting you! All 6ft 4 of me lol

As for clean and really clean... Blatantly there is an advantage to having your car cleaned properly with all the treatments etc, unless you have the time, materials and knowledge to do it properly yourself... Which I certainly don't!
