Granted, I could also, for £0, but when you think they will do it for not much more than an IMO (well, maybe less, as they include an interior clean up as well for that)... I have normally lost interest (code for got tired) by the time I have washed off the fall-out remover and filled up the snow foam bottle... The Golf was in amazing condition in this respect after two years... Think it was only washed less than 10 times and shone like a new penny when it went...

He tells me Gtechniq recommend washing only around once a month to help preserve the ceramic coating and, if I lived a little more local, I agree his £20 wash is good value. But for me it's around 45 minutes each way and, more significantly, I hate having a dirty car and couldn't live with it being mucky for weeks at a time; fortunately I'm happy to wash it myself and have the time to do so! |

I'm also not sure they'd travel as far as me just to do a wash although I suppose they might if there were a couple in the area to make it worth their while. However, quite genuinely the washing isn't a problem for me - I know some hate doing it but saddo that I am I often find it quite therapeutic! |

I used to love washing the cars but, frankly, it's got a bit much for me these days to do it to the level that I would want to... ergo the change in tactic to a ceramic coating... Before, I just had a good, thorough (and most importantly, very regular) routine and didn't really need a ceramic coating... The product I was most impressed with, to be honest, was not the ceramic on the paintwork (although I am impressed) but the protection to the wheels... Never had a set of wheels look so good for so long as with the coatings...

Agreed and I have never had sets of wheels that were easy to clean before applying sets with ceramic protection
