Car Washing

[Puffin]

Does anyone here still wash their own car, vacuum etc?

I have been driving 47 years and have been to a car wash only once in the 70s. It was the revolving brush type. It wasn't a bad experience as it would have been impossible to make the paintwork look any more crap. They used to have smaller revolving brushes that were supposed to clean the wheels....err yea. I just thought t was a waste of money (probably 50p :lol:)

I suspect that if most people get their car washed and cleaned out they will go to one the many Valeting operations that seem to have mushroomed in the last few years. Do they do a better job than you can? or is doing your own soooo yesterday?

I do mine and twice a year, the Q5 receives a complete professional job. The car will not be abused by any of the several local car washes.

Always wash and 'valet' the car myself. It's the only way to get a good job done.
