Who washes there motor?

I've not been on here for ages! Anyway we had some nice weather yesterday and I was the only one in my street washing my car, everyone seems to have valeters come and do it for them. Don't people like washing there own motor?

I used to be the same, until I became so busy my vehicles were becoming neglected, I then tried a company called ultimate shine autos in Stirling, excellent service from enthusiasts, only guys I ever seen that can clean my cars as good as me.

No affiliation to them, just good to recommend a company that's excellent at what they do, so many "detailers"out there who can't clean a car properly.

I wash my own motor, i wouldn't trust anyone else to wash it because i am a bit ocd when it comes to my motors, the only other person to have ever cleaned my motor is my detailer tony spears who i can highly recommend because his standards are also at the very top when it comes to attention to detail.

No input apart from trying to correct peoples grammar, you must be a hoot at party's.
