Thanks to the guilt trip you played on me I spent £5 having some bloke clean it and then 10 mins cleaning up the bits he missed. Does look good now though, but won't in an hour

Like to wash the car twice a week and wax every month, weather permitting, so when the winter comes hopefully the wax is protecting the bodywork. Then when spring comes give the car the clay bar treatment then cleaner polish and start all over again.

Wash my car once a week(weather permitting) polish as often as i can be bothered to (though has been very often this last yr)though when it gets really mucky have to wash it because it just irritates me.

Taliban hand-wash for me whenever I think the windscreen is too filthy for the washers to get it clean! - Can't be bothered to do it myself....

At the moment - that's once every 4-6 weeks..... unless I'm going somewhere where I don't want to get ribbed over the state of it...
