Damned if i'd put a brush on my car !
Rinse with jet wash with lowish power.
2 bucket wash with grit guards, dodo wookie mitt and poorboys shampoo.
Dry with waffle weave micro fibre towel.
Clay every 6 months and polish with Kestral if needed.
seal with poorboys blackhole
Dodo supernatural wax.

if your lazy, wash as above then use a cleaner wax like dodi juice need for speed.

dont use blackhole on your white car tho jimmy. use a sealent for white.

before this turns into "valeting wars" i'll put everyone straight on something.

JIMMY DOESNT CLEAN HIS CAR, HE PAYS SOMEONE TO DO IT!

He wont be buying dodo spunk or a wash mitt made from the feathers of angels wings to clean his car, trust me!

Fair enough, I feel that cleaning and looking after your car is all part of the experience instead of paying a cheapy valeting company to do it for you and that you should take pride in it. In my opinion.

Best of luck with it all anyway

I dont quite understand what you mean. A t-cut branded wax, polish, and clay bar is also a certain no from me as well.

I'm with you on that one, maybe not to the extremes that some go to but some people just arent that way inclined so prefer to pay a decent detailer/valeter to do it.

He doesn't know what he is missing. Doing a detail on your pride and joy is so therapeutic and satisfying. If jimmy has had a rough time and needs to put his mind elsewhere, my advise is clean your own car

Lol, I dread to think what would happen if he got his hands on cleaning products mate, lets not go there.

Relax in the knowledge that if Jimmy takes it somewhere to be cleaned, its likely to be in a lot safer hands than his own!

Yeah, the black tyres and dark glass give it the perfect contrast imo. Just shows that less is more when it comes to looks.
