i can see how easy it is to spend that much, if you clean it once everyw eek/fortnight it would soon add up if your buying decent stuff... not unreasonable imo

If you've done it properly you only need to use anything special about once every 6 months.
In between that you need shampoo and a sponge.

I'll add up what I've spent this year, I think I can get the order history from the website.

How funny would it be to do a massive steaming shite on your bonnet & then call him out & ask him to remove it.

He would obviously use the 1 stick no bucket method followed by some £6k a tub 'you've been shat on paint cream'

I can perhaps see the value is spending more on the right stuff particularly where chemicals are concerned. Obviously there's a lot of R&D goes in to the products, as well as the cost to buy the raw materials and produce the stuff.
I think there's a bit of piss taking but I can kind of see the value in getting the make up of what you're working with to be right.
Thing that gets me is paying £60 for a bucket. Unless regular buckets give off some undesirable plastic by-products then I see no reason to import one especially. Its just a bucket.

Exactly just spending the money on the right procucts can get the same results as the really expensive stuff.

it'll wear off mate.
i used to love washing my car and bought loads of cleaning stuff. get annoyed after a while, especially on shitty cold days.
mine just gets a quick wash every week, sometimes every 2 weeks, maybe a polish and wax every 3 or 4 months.
