More of an addiction I think, started by just cleaning the car normally. Now I clean the beast daily!

Once I have my rotary, it will step up a gear.

She is by no means perfect, but ain't bad for a ten year old car on a limited budget.

Good on you though.

Not a full clean, just a little.

Keeps on top of things.

A bit un-called for if you ask me, see quote from yourself on 20th March;

well you should only need to polish your car 1-2 times a year if you look affter it.. just wash weekly and top up wax.. job done.. takes me about 2-3 hours a week to wash hoover etc

2-3 hours per week! I spend 5-10mins per day, wash and wax every couple of weeks or so, you work it out!
