Just thinking of your new motor Matt, why not get the paint sealed? This saves the need for ever waxing/polishing the thing. On my motor I have the 3yr sealent called Superguard which my local valeting centre put on (£110). Now the car can be covered in flies/general crud but one wash with meguires and it looks like i've spent hours polishing it
 If I was getting a new motor I would get the 5yr sealent (£200). The good thing is if during the 5yrs your motor ever looks like it hasn't been polished, they redo the whole car again. I was chatting to the bloke in the local valeting shop and its what they put on Ferrari's, Lambo's etc and they do look stunning after its been done |

In an ideal world, if i had a nice car and the time, i'd spend hours polishing it etc...
In reality i don't so if it hasn't rained in a while, or it's looking especially dirty i give it a quick hand wash. My car is still VERY dirty from the Essex meet, but i've been working and haven't had a weekend off to do it. Well apart from this weekend, and i just can't be bothered Rain dammit.

Why do your minions have to be your children?
Not that I have a car. |
