Ive just spent 6 hours cleaning mine today in my drive thanks to a nice sunny dry day

6 hours? Cleaning a car? Wow.

I went shooting...

2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

No snow Chris, but a mere 1 degree centigrade.
A snow foam, jet spray, the a nice warm water wash, dried and topped off with Gtechniq C3 left it looking again. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Do at I do. pay someone else

I pay £15 and a good guy Comes to the house with his white van full of toys and cleans, waxes, hoovers, dusts, freshens and dries it. It's a bit h having to stay warm and drink coffee for 45 minutes. Lol TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

Same here lads but I spend hours on my motorbikes cleaning and polishing so life wouldn't be worth living if my wife started seeing me doing the car. Lol. I would rather drive my car than wash it......... Only joking guys. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx
