United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Vogue TDV6 Santorini Black

I let the Eastern Europeans at the local filling station do it. They stand on a wheel or the open door cill. Only concern is what they use to clean the wheels. But I just can't work up any enthusiasm to wash it myself.
But they definitely don't do the Porsche. That gets hand washed by me!

Don’t wash it very often in winter, although the L405 mirrors get way dirtier than the 322, never wash the roof that often but the pano roof looks cack dirty . First world problems eh Mr. Green

I have a set of small wooden steps which are just the right height so yes I wash the roof every time. The worst thing about being retired is you miss out on all the bank holidays

Always leave the roof dirty (apart from the sunroof glass) as it stops birds messing on it ! Birds on 'go' over water (or shiny paint which looks like water from above) . On my Series Landy's and my 101's because they were cammo painted (dull or canvas) they never had any bird muck on - unlike all my cars Sad

Every time. Pefectionist, OCD, call it what you will.

However it I will be giving it a Gtechniq ceramic coat soon and that stuff is AMAZING for shedding water and crap, a good rainshower usually does the rick.

So once the roof is coated I *might* skip very occasionally if in a hurry. Might.
