On the theme of not paying a lot for a clean car, I take it one step further....
Screwfix 'no nonsense' shampoo (5 litre tub will last about 3 years) £7.99.
A free AutoGlym 'set' which came with a new Volvo in 2019. Most are less than half used to date. Includes rubber care silicone stuff so haven't paid for Gummi Pflege since either.
One tub of Turtlewax paste wax which lasts about 5 years. £6.75.
Two buckets of warm water, a sponge, a couple of microfibre cloths (which are washed in the machine regularly) and a fabric drying cloth for each wash.
I do use a little bit of acid wheel cleaner on my calipers and wheel hubs occasionally but never on the wheels themselves. Plus a bit of Autosol metal polish for the exhaust tips. Extravagant, I know!
All of my cars are spotless the majority of the time and it costs me about £5.00 a year to clean them all.
Do I win a prize?
