Update your profile with the new pics too

I use a sponge, chamois and some Meguirs (sp) Quick detailler. Does the job for me, don't need to go overboard on the double buckets, lambswool mitts and all the other stuff unless you're looking to lose hours even days of your time.

That's the only reason i've stayed away from doing it properly

Maybe not but it seems that's just a slippery slope for me.
I keep looking at kits on the Polished Bliss website and have to stop myself 'cause I know once I start i'll end up an obsessive cleaner

p.s. Hudders - liking the spoilerless look. Very tidy
