I disagree.
I find that when cleaning it I notice all the imperfections like chips, scratches lacquer cracks etc. So I get annoyed

i might move down your way so you can clean mine then. i spent about 50 squid on all the cleaning gear the other week. when i'd finished it looked worse than when i started so i had to cheat and take it to the hand car wash lol.

I agree I get annoyed at stone chips etc, still it looks better clean with stone chips than dirty with stone chips 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

I'm just trying to keep myself busy mate because if I stop I'll fall asleep lol, and the polish near me are bad for cleaning cars, use dirty sponges and water, I would rather clean the car with p**s and a Brillo pad
