    Love it! That dude would have to have a hell of a lot of patience though; I know if I started doing that level of detailing I'd need to practice my patience.

    One weird thing though...he dries in small circles...which I've been taught not to do as swirling of any form has more chance of creating marring on the paintwork. Oh well, he knows what he's doing...hahah

    Good way to clean a car if you don't plan on using it.

    lol...hardly.

    I detail the living crap out of my car, and use over half a tank of fuel in two days alone, every weekend. Nothing wrong with cleaning a daily to that sort of level (granted, I don't spend a whole week to do EVERYTHING 100%, but you get what I mean!)

    You should NEVER use a chamois. Always use a waffleweave microfibre cloth.

    Real leather chamois are the next best thing to waffleweaves

    But yeah. Most, if not all chamois' you'd acquire at places like supercheap are very, very bad for your car. As bad as a sponge!

    VR6 right? So that's babying it?
    Meh, I don't have a garage for either of my cars, I rarely clean my daily, let alone clay-bar it or clean it to any decent extent. If it looks clean from 2 meters away, then I'm happy.
