Coz it the owner's pride and joy, even if it isn't a supercar!
I remember a couple or so years ago a discussion about people's car cleaning habits on here and we all thought RRUK was way OTT.
As a result I spent £125 on a Zymol kit (or something with a similarly silly sounding name), it is still sitting unused in the garage waiting for a day when my enthusiasm to polish a car gets above zero and the weather is right to actually do it - no rain, no sun, no wind and there are no birds to on the finished job! Instead I spend £5 a week at the local pressure washer centre where they do a good hotwash with loads of Autogylm soap, a cold rinse and then a hand dryoff. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I have a chap who comes to my house every other week and cleans both our cars for £20 each - far easier. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Yes but you live in the cash strapped north where a pint still costs 50p. Us in the South pay for things and subsidise the rest of the UK. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

At my local its £3.40 a pint you must mean further up north than Leeds

Did you notice the landlord laughing when you handed over your money? Trust me - anyone further north than me pays 50p a pint! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I'm sure he put his prices up when he swapped his TVR to a RRS and again when the wife got her FL2

You would know he was taking the p*ss if he had bought an X5 or a Cayenne then NP 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

He had a good choice in cars so I let him off

I have to admit I have my Rangie stripped in the garage getting detailed and colour coded The machine work is up to about 12 hours and thats only the bonnet, front and rear bumpers and part of the boot!!! I have detailed cars where we have spent £250 on and then sold them making up to an extra £1000 on the selling price so it does pay! Also personally people are dumb enough to get the car Diamond brite or superguard protected at the dealer for between £300-£350 not knowing the stuff only costs £10 and it HAS to be topped up every month not the 3 years they say!!!

Get the Range etc detailed properly at the start and then it is an easy matter of topping it up every month or so and IT IS money well spent!

each to their own I would say but why spend £50-£80K on a Range Rover or car then not look after it?
