I have never washed a car in my life and never will. But I can fully appreciate those who enjoy this as a pastime and a therapeutic and pleasurable exercise.

I am fast approaching the stage when I would employ someone very nice to wash me! And why not? It could prove most enjoyable for both parties! :evil: :laugh:

 :grin: :grin:

Who will be that (un)lucky person  :laugh:

Btw I'm not offering my services   :tongue: :grin: :kiss:

That person will also have to know how to detail a car. Unfortunately, my quest will be scuppered as most, nay all, of them are male. Now that you are out of the running, I'll have to advertise for two persons of the appropriate sex. Nothing is easy in this life!  :cry:
Asker, I'd gladly borrow Madamoiselle Booth's rotary polishing machine contraption thingy and bring some ancient t-cut out of my garage with me to give you a good honest scrub down.
Then using one of Ms. B's quick detailer spray bottles loaded with her finest Oil of Olay I'd spray you with effervescent skincare whilst the burly Eastern European guy from your local BMW dealer could perform the "wax on, wax off" rubbing in with his poundland microfibre cloth.


Don't say I didn't offer!  :grin:

Dear M. Ex, there's no way on this sweet earth that:

a)  I would trust you within 10 feet of my DA (polishing machine contraption thingy to you)
b)  My beloved Hex Logic polishing pads and Poorboys SSR polish are being wasted on Asker's wonky car or body.

Oil of Olay?   Creme de la Mer, if you don't mind.  Do you really think I would spend as much money as I do on my car detailing stuff and then skimp on my own Last Stage Protection   :kiss:

Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising = washing, polishing and waxing  :grin:

I thought such a natural beauty as you wouldn't need to moisturise and exfoliate? I'm sure you're going for overkill there you know...

But my, what a classy girl you are! No rub down with economy margarine for you I see!

I don't, but we ladies have to reclaim our beauty territory from the increasing numbers of Metrosexual men stealing it  :tongue:

But my, what a classy girl you are! No rub down with economy margarine for you I see!

If I did decide to slum it, it would have to be butter, I don't touch margarine which is but a nano step away from plastic  :wink:

(Disclaimer: I've no idea what Creme De Mer is btw!)

It's a very reasonably priced run-of-the-mill face cream  :whistle:

That brought tears (of laughter) to my eyes.  Brought tears of a different kind to the eyes of the users :laugh:

I'm not even gonna ask why you were looking at this stuff, but presumably the reviews have made you reconsider  :whistle:

I was being sarcastic  :rolleyes:  It's good stuff though and my occasional treat.
