    Got to say not as big a freak as some people with their routine etc.
    2 buckets, sponge, chamios, turtle wax wash and wax, and a hose pipe, and I am embarrased to say I wash the car about 4-5 times ....a week, wax probably only once every 2-3 months, it's never dirty

    Sponge one bucket and car shampoo

    No option in the poll for this

    Sometimes go to the polish car wash if the weather is too bad to do it myself

    Sponges are the evil of all things shiny.

    Wash mit, two buckets and proper car shampoo for me.

    Aye, but we're talking about washing cars here mate. Surely there's other forums you can go on to discuss that sort of thing.
