Having seen a few cleaning and detailing posts, I wonder if I am in the minority. Mine gets a jet wash probably once a year and thats it, interior has had 1 valet in 10 years, I do take out the empty beer cans now and again, all other cars the same, am I a dirty pig or normal Dont even go there with swmbo car

Short answer, yes.

I'm not OCD about it but I do like to drive a clean car......apart from my old LR90 which barely got a clean once a year.

When I eventually build a second garage big enough for the FF to be cleaned inside, I'm hoping to start going into detailing a bit more...not too far though.

Every person I have ever met who says "I wont be going into detailing too far" either ends up with it as their job OR buys so many products they need the 2nd garage just to store it  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Yeah, I like a clean car. Can't stand driving the wife's skip.

Do you think we see cars in a different way as we get older/children etc? When I was a young buck I cleaned it every day, now it is a tool with a means to an end and I have more to do than clean the bloody thing . I dont need to attract women or look good in the hood . wish I did though

I actually enjoying cleaning my car, I find it quite therapeutic and satisfying. My wife treats out RR like a bin so I probably clean once every few weeks, takes me about 2hrs. 2021 L405 Vogue D300

Your sig says "2016" so that's a nice shiny new one....the statement "wife treats like a bin"....

Have you considered a cheaper alternative for her.....?  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I can't see an alternative being cheaper for him. By the time you take into account lawyers and property splits it would need "a bit of rough" to make it viable.


I'm not doing much car washing at the moment. Too much direct sunlight.  John

I think it's the case that in ze Fatherland you have to use a wash guy 'cos it's illegal to wash your car on the street, or any place where the waste water would drain into the municipal drains.

you are right my friend - but still depends on the local/city regulations - i.e. in Stuttgart you are allowed to wash your car in the street, cause the dirty water goes always in our area first to a sewage treatment plant to be cleaned  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!
