    Not!
    Mega gold class with mit, micro fibre cloths to dry and zymol wax. If I'm really in the cleaning mood I can spend 8-9 hours on the car.

    2 sponges, 2 buckets, car shampoo (I'm reassured its very good)! I'm not very up on what's good for my bodywork and what's not! in fact, i've just washed my car 5 minutes ago and feel a bit bad now I've just used sponges!!!
