Who washes/cleans/valets/maintains your pride and joy?

Yeti - The filter may remove the limescale but what about the ionised water molecules - its normally those that give that misty look when you don't dry it properly.

wash, wax and fix myself. Just had my first try with carnauba wax, great finish and good workout! Might get a paint correction and detail this year.

My 3200 went to the cheap hand car wash, once. looked like they used wire wool on it.

I always wash mine myself then use deionised water to wash it off, no drying required as it dries clear which is nice. The filtering equipment is not cheap but it is very effective.

The car had a full professional paint correction detail the week before i bought it using a rotary polisher so no need to do any polishing etc, although i regularly get the wax out and top it up to keep it looking as shiny as possible! I have been detailing cars for years now and have most of the kit myself. Also helps that i enjoy that kind of thing so i don't mind spending a few hours on it.

Supposedly takes these out as well, put it this way, it's a huge improvement on just hosing it down and leaving it to dry

What type of filter is it?

I wash and detail my own cars. Like others, don't trust anyone else to do the job properly.

I actually enjoy it. Like a hobby of sorts.

Have a Random Orbital polisher and Menzerna polish.

Then put her to sleep.

Its funny how they look so good, when wearing the genuine cover.
Mine wears the same (although for the 4200 of course), and looks so special in the garage, even though you can't see it!

+1 to that mjheathcote

now their is a market hole - coats for cars cut and stich the windows and vents areas, keeps the paint protected (sort off) and even quicker to wash

you could have a coat for daily drive, coat for racing and a dress pin strip coat

we can call it the "SM Coat"

Don't Maserati already do these for their deliveries?

Not Pin Stripe..!!

There is only ever one person cleans, valet's, polishes and seals my pride and joy's and that is me.
A process that can take me three days to complete with the white *****, but the joy and satisfaction received from that intimate time spent alone with her, is priceless.

Makes you wonder though, about the other half, and why she doesnt quite get the same sense gratification from carrying out a similar operation to the house !!!

This chap is doing mine in two weeks time - http://remyrocdetailing.co.uk/Services - Mobile Detailing.html

I'll be the detailer who will be doing Zagatoes toys, if you need your car detailed then feel free to ask

Check this video my mate posted after a customer paid Audi £500 to paint protect this Audi. Nick fixed it for them!

Braver man than me.......hope that SWMBO cannot read your views on cleaning the house for your sake!
Re doing the car, fully agree. Done mine for the first time and it took me 3 days but worth every second for both the result and the satisfaction level.
