Stumbled across this on another forum, seems rather excessive but hay ho. Nothing wrong with a bucket and sponge IMHO Grin

Enjoy the read or will it send you off to sleep.

nowt wrong with a bit of detailing....

Although in future, I think I'll pay someone else to do it....far too much elbow grease goes in....

That said, taking 75 pictures of the sodding process it ridiculous....

I don't recall ever washing or detailing my last Laguna myself though I do take care to leave it out so the rain can do the job for me.  Though I think some did Tartiflette it when it went for a service.  I think they wanted to keep hte grease monkey's overalls clean.   Grin   What a nuisance that was I couldn't find the car when they delivered it back to the office.  I only found it by checking the Number plates.

There is a guy who lives opposite me who spends ALL weekend cleaning his car. He takes the wheels off to polish the brake callipers. The best is he drys the lights with a hair dryer. One good thing it is like having your own security man in the close. Grin

To be fair it is the guys job, not as if he was just doing it for kicks, but to take so many pictures is quite very boring.

However if you read some of the responses one guy is nursing a semi after looking at the pictures which is very troubling.

It looks like it.

Having said that I did spend 2 hours cleaning the alloys on Saturday, but only because the front ones were black,(and the back ones silver)  On the basis that it was going to rain, there was no point in washing the rest of it (that one works most days).

My son has had his car nine months, and its still in showroom condition - well, it hasn't been touched since it left the showroom.
