    Considering work place is a building site & I do c.100m on motorways per day; I really CBA to wash it.

    That aside I dust the interior occasionally (normally whilst bored & stuck in traffic)

    It gets cleaned at service time; job done

    Local chap who isn't eastern European. Costs £10 but I'd rather support him than those damn lazy immigrants who wash cars down the road and charge £5

    WHS. It's fun to sit there while all those rubber thingies roll over the car

    As long as you remember to retract the aerial, close all the windows, and not have a nervous pet in the car. ..

    (all of which at one time or another I haven't remembered! )

    Hose pipe ?

    Bucket of water, sponge. That is all. Meguiars shampoo if I'm feeling generous.

    If you're being poncy about it you should get a micro-fibre multi layer hand made by virgins lambs wool mitt.

    Sponges ruin your paint.

    They have one tub to wash the dirty super size multi fibre thingy, then lather up in a clean soapy one. That way there's no dirty water going into the clean. Plus leave the car there and go shopping, come back and it's all done. Better than Tesco's car washers & £1 pound cheaper. I used to go to one near work, they had a loyalty card, so the 5th was free.
