yep the suns out , and washed my beast , the car that is, looked at all different angles of time and money wasted, and different opinions and doubt if anyone will like or understand, but im 48 and when i was younger and had energy i used to spend hrs washing and waxing and cleaning my sunbeam lotus, (20 odd yrs ago) , then after 6 hrs of graft the next day on the way to work it would rain and on the bypass following lorrys and heavy traffic by the time i got home the car looked shite, and then i changed my car washing experience , i decided not to waste valuable hrs every month polishing waxing, so what i do is get a bucket, fill with water and shampoo, wash the car and leather it, takes about 45 mins, and wax it every six months, job done, then consider the value, if you bought a car brand new drove it home put it in your garage with a dust sheet over it for 5 yrs and decided to sell it , it would be worth at least half of what you paid despite a handfull of miles and mint paintwork, unless you have a rare super car thats worth millions your polishing a turd , thats loosing money every wk in value despite your hrs of loving polish and claybar extreme nonsense , and yesterday i spoke to a car detailer who told me hed spent 34 hrs on a customers standard ford fiesta, and charged £400 what a waste and what a mug, so my view is yes wash your car and keep it clean , but dont spend hundreds every year and waste hrs and hrs , cos it will probably hiss it down tomorrow , enjoy your tin box and remember the more miles appear, and with every year its worth less and less, included a picture of my turd, 45 mins wasted washing and leathering but saved myself 4hrs of detailing and some money
