There are three of us in our street who regularly hand wash our cars, the rest don't bother

Mine look the best though

As to polishing the paint off - super primertallic all the way lol

Since I started Snowfoaming the car two other neighbours have bought the snowfoaming gear.

It looks like it's been snowing when we wash the cars on the same day.

Where we used to live was a chap opposite me who never cleaned his or his wife’s car and used to make daft comments to me about my car tinkering and cleaning - usually when he was off to play golf on a Sunday morning and I was on my drive servicing or cleaning the car.

His wife was the opposite - saying to my SWMBO that she was embarrassed that our cars always looked great but that theirs looks shabby.

At a BBQ he started - and he was not “playing nice” - he was trying to poke fun at what I did

So I said that I did what I wanted to do because I liked doing it - it served a practical and economic purpose. I followed that up by saying that other people had equally ‘odd’ interests - some spent their spare time hitting a little white ball all over the place trying to get it into little holes.

I said I was amazed that it took them so long to do this AND!! - that they actually paid good money to do this strange activity

The icing on the cake was his wife agreeing with me and saying she wished her husband was as practical as I was and that the only reason he was having a go at me was because only that morning she had told him she was fed up being a “golf widow” and why can’t he be “more like me”.

His embarrassment was obvious. I actually felt quite sorry for him. But thankfully the silly comments stopped.
