I know how you feel. This isn't my first car by a long shot nor my first "car love" but I've never cleaned a car so often or spent so much on detailing products.
I used to wash all of my previous cars loads when I had them but was doing it all wrong ~ one bucket and a hose!! Not to mention a sponge.
Stumbled across the "detailing" section on here, met a few knowledgeable forum members and have since spent at least a months wages on various products, snow foam gun, new drying cloth's, polishes, waxes etc etc
Not to mention binned my T-Cut which I'd had for over 5 years.
