If you were local I would, there's something calming about cleaning a car |
thats why i set up a business doing it. although there are times where it gets a little hectic lol |
The thing is when tour doing your own car you can stop like I have now, I'm going to go and do the interior in a min, you can't do that when your getting paid for it, I do love cleaning it though and the missus is happy that my hobby is relatively inexpensive, well after you've spent a couple hundred on decent cleaning products ;-) |
 mine started as a hobby..... its when i got into the £1000's my missus said i should start charging to do peoples cars to make money back lol
it can get VERY out of hand lol

I know it can, I think a machine polisher is next on my list but it will purely be for my own car, I wouldn't want to do it for a living all the time, but i can understand why other people would, great way to earn money doing something your passionate about

I refuse to clean the 308 regular as the missus drives it more than me and she doesn't care at all! And she's curbed the 17 inch alloys on it which would annoy me when cleaning them, sometimes I give in and just clean it as it makes the drive look untidy.....bloody women haha

Wise words, it can indeed 
Incidently what was your routine today? Because if Andrew is machine polishing next week anything more than a simple wash and clay would be totally wasted

Try a Dodo shampoo like born to be mild or sour power, you will love it 
Sounds good make sure Andrew takes lots of pictures!
