In our street there is only me and a lass across the road who wash our own cars... all the rest must go elsewhere. The lass does her Honda R-type twice a week, regardless of the weather, and does a proper 2 bucket job, with a fancy mitt for the wheels. ...  but she never uses a chamois .. just hose rinses and leaves it to dry ....  :(

My original post was tongue in cheek to be fair.... Weve got two kids aged 4 and 5 and we foster aswell so getting out for an hour undisturbed to clean the motor is actually quite theraputic!!  :y
