I envy you S2000 owners. It must take you guys 5 minutes to clean your cars.



Cheers,


James.

No roof, no air ducts, no fiddly rear bumpers, no annoying side trim. I'm still liking the S2.


Cheers,

James.

I have a roof I have to keep clean, I have a fiddly rear spoiler and bumper to clean, air duct is there but quite accessible, I have detailed an F450 for example now that is a big fekin car to clean. I would say it takes me the same time to clean the S as it does to clean my previous two cars ... only problem is whilst I am cleaning it I am not driving it, so it doesn't get cleaned as often as my other cars did

What are you driving now Papalazarou?

I'm on my second NSX and it's a pig to clean properly. However, I bought a dual action buffer the other day and that's made life considerably easier.
The paint protection on the nose has also helped. I'm saving up for a jet wash now.


Cheers,


James.

Found the NSX pretty easy to work on, it has beutiful paintwork so massaging the paint back to life was easy.

Ferrari 348 on the other hand is a pig, too many nooks and crannies.

Yes but you're a professional. I'm just a lowly car enthusiast
