Seriously though would be good to see a comparison between two cars, one with a normal wash/dry method, another that takes a whole day to clean.

:wrthless:

It took my mate and I two days to get my car to look like this

bet you there wasnt a sponge insight when you did that though and a few more products were used lol

My friend let me use the corner of his garage for a couple of day, we had........

A couple of hundred pounds worth of polishes, waxes etc.

Loads of microfibre cloths.

Two polishing machines and a roll of masking tape.

In total it took us 10hours because I wanted the car to look perfect for the summer, which I'm still waiting for:(

Wot, no Fairy liquid?

I use fairy liquid before I detail a car, both covering the car with it as foam and in the bucket. Removes most if not all of the old wax/fillers/contaminants on the paint surface.

Tis very true but very crude way of doing it.

Some cleaner fluid or even a clay bar will work just as well though and that will remove every last bit

ouch and all the salt in it too!!

A clay bar will only pick up particles from the surface, it won't remove old wax/sealant etc

How common :P
