Luckily i have a mint girlfriend who completly understands my love/addiction to the Saxo and normally helps me out when cleaning it.......like today when i conditioned the leather seats she scrubbed and applied megs gel to my tyres.
cause that is all you would trust anyone to do with your car lol

i clean my car way tooo much lol im getting it from my neighbour, mates but my mum is the worst all the fucking time. although it is my daily driver i have washed it 3 times in 5 days:s although for good reasons though.
1. meet
2. filthy
3. fitted my racing stripe so needed doing again
although it really pissed me off as soon as i stopped wiping of the polish on my car before the wax time it started raining really pissed me off

Don't worry about it. I have spent days cleaning my car. Made a start and once it gets dark put it in the garage and carry on the following day, kept doing this until i was happy. My neighbours say things like "you'll wash the paint off if you clean it anymore". i lol at them and point out the many imperfections on their cars.

well look at it this way u wash your car once a day it will be a lot easyer because there wont be a lot of dirt and all it takes is between 10-20 mins to do ftw

I get the good old comment of 'this one next' by the neighbours. Tbh, it's getting fucking old after 5 year's! Lol.

I looked even worse on Friday washing mine and then polishing Toyah's lol. Need to teach her how to wash her car properly. Already got half the gear for her to have at her house though
