What'd be funny is if some owner of a Porsche or similar paid him the big bickies to wash his car, only to bust him down at the local BP taking it through the Superwash!

I have owned my car for almost a year now, and I have washed it once.

With a broom...

Breakdown,

Pop bonnet clean bay and engine - 30min
remove wheels and wash, 30min each - 2hrs
hose off and wash - 45min.
dry - 30min
wax on wax off and buff - 1:15min
tyre black/gel twice - 15min
Vacuum - 15min
wash shine interior - 30min
Shine up all black trim and seals etc - 30min
Clean windows - 15min

Total - 6.45min

Thats without the tune and the beer, and lunch break.

Nope 7-8hrs sounds about right

8 hrs once a month and about 3-4 hrs every saturday morning.

I could not wash it one weekend and made it to the following wednesday before it got the better of me. Knocked off work at 5.30 and parked my baby at 10pm :

I saw a nice bionic XR8 in the superwash the other day, almost cried. But I do not know if the new supersoft BP ones are any good now. Does anyone have any experience with these?
