Spent a very enjoyable afternoon washing the 75.
Lambswool washmit and two buckets for me thanks!

I would never take a car to a car wash after having an uncomfortable expierence in an old Escort ( Gents, I will say no more about this so please don't ask !!!

).

I spent a very enjoyable 15 minutes watching 3 croations clean my car on my way to work, they do use a mit as mentioned above but they also use the steam cleaner before washing and afterwards to clear away all the soap.

Having said that I am very happy with the results my car looks gleaming

I just don't have the time to wash my own car.

I never use car washes and I've seen the damage jet washes can do.
