DS3 cleaning guilt

[germinus]

It's all brought about by the boys and girls on this forum who seemingly spend most of their free time lovingly tending their motors and spending small fortunes on exotically named potions such as Collimite 1976 or Clay or whatever.

£1000 and counting...oh shame on me

I don't mind the exercise when I'm washing a car, it's just that I always get soaking wet. I feel like washing it in my boxers!

Don't let Clive make you feel even more guilty.

Clive, down boy. You will just someday have to accept that we all do not suffer from the same compulsive behavior. lolJoni-that's just shameful

Yes, I agree and accept that! - if everyone did that would make me normal! :lol:

That's what I was thinking of doing; because like Deesse trois I don't want to clean my car all the time (although you'll be happy to hear I've done it once in the month I've had it!) - Sorry Clive.

But I remember from another thread that people said you can't even trust 'valet' or car cleaning places because what if they don't use new/rinsed sponges and put someone else's grit on your paintwork? Does anyone else have experience with valet cleaning, can you trust them to do it properly (i.e. not damage the paint)?
