The roads have been terrible recently with salt and rain etc.
I thought I'd let a professional do the job this time. £10.

Clean mine every Sunday, power washer is ok to use with a wide spray to get the road dirt off, from at least 3ft away, then i would go to warm water with soap in, use serval buckets not one bucket, i usually have four buckets use different mitt for wheels, use wide micro mitt on paintwork.

After using the buckets up i then use power washer which as a built in tank for soap, spray the car with soap, then wash that off. doing the two cars will take me best part of 5 hours which also incorporates all fluid and tyres tests in that time, weather permitting of cause.

That's why I get into trouble washing the cars! If I factor in a full polish and wax, that's the weekend gone.
