When you do over 1k miles a month and work weekends its hard to wash the poor car
Fear not I shall treat mine to a scrub next week

You do know that's actually less than the average monthly miles

Probably no worse than your average hapless joe who gives a rotary a go at home tbh. The things I've seen people do. The things I've seen 'pros' do.

Least they're cheap :lol:

Besides. It's whatever the end user is happy with, and what they're happy to pay.

The number of 'look I detailed my car!' Threads I've seen in the past and the end result would have actually been better done by hand with a few reasonably priced products with a little elbow grease. Yet because someone bought some dodo juice they think they're the next Paul dalton and therefore can make a living out of it, yet the car they just did was simply a 'mop job' and their time would of been better spent taking a few covers off and removing the leaves in grills, doing gaps etc.

Exactly! And whilst there's plenty of people out there who wanna do a great job, and can do a great job, and are willing to give it the time it deserves, there's plenty who think a quick once over is the same as a concourse level detail :lol:

Those who get their cars done at the local £5 must be laughing their socks off. Got the results THEY want and are happy with. And it costs them naff all and no effort :lol:

Doesn't stop me being anal and OCD but it's a personal choice

And the elbow grease is a brand?! That's awesome!
