I admire the dedication and sheer hard work that some members put into the cleaning, polishing, buffing, clay barring (?), detailing of their Meganes but it's not for me.
Mine gets washed once a month with some 'nuclear yellow' Simoniz soapy stuff (got it from Tesco at £1 for a litre, bought 5 litres and decanted into a jerry can - now got 10 years supply!) and I run a brush around the tyres with some stuff to make them black and shiny. Once a year I polish it with Autoglym (the one with the red label). It looks great when I've done it and it looks better than most of the neighbours' cars.
I read a thread on here a few weeks back and one correspondent wrote a full page on how he details his car. It ran to about 10 different processes and products. I'm afraid my patience doesn't last that long.
When I wash the car I can't get past the fact that it'll be dirty again in a couple of days.
However, I do understand that others take great pleasure from cosseting their pride and joy, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I think I'll just sit back and admire their work when the photos are posted.
