Shell £6.99 wax and wash drive through

[garystu1965]

Tried this last week and despite typical Manchester weather for a week my car is still shiny and clean. If you are lazy like me I can recommend this. I know these other products that you put on yourself will produce better results but I think the Shell drive-through is pretty good.

I use the local Eastern European hand wash at £7.00. They do a damn good job and I get to keep my baby bottom smooth hands, baby bottom smooth

I use a couple of Asian lads, nice job for £3.

Boo! Hiss! That's a great advertising slogan IMO

Fear not, the kids can still look at page 3 of the Sun/Star

Wash it yourself and do it properly using the 2 bucket method, to save on adding more scratches and swirls.

I get a bunch of v-power club points if I use the Shell wash but I've never tried it. Now I've heard a good review I might whizz the car through and see how it looks

I was going to suggest that. Yesterday when I cleaned the car I cleaned the wheels with Very Cherry wheel cleaner, washed with the 2BM using a wash mit and not a sponge, dried with some Migalore Quick detailer as a drying aid, sealed the wheels with some Migalore Wheel Sealant and waxed the car with Collinite 915. It took me around an hour and a half tops.
I was going to clay and machine polish it then but I didn't like the look of the weather, I'd imagine that would have taken an extra 2 and a half hours.
I'm of the belief that if I wash my car like this every so often I just need to keep on top of it for it to look smart.

PS I'm pretty lazy too

Ignoring the car wash - check out the fuel prices!

Can hardly remember it now - but it shows diesel at 145.9p and unleaded at 139.9p!

Ouch. Mind you, we've been told to expect rises on fuel again soon (VAT back up etc).

Oh well.
