some nice brit humor too!!

expensive process for that test (especially the pre-details)!
great inspection process...

and very interesting conclusions- even more damage than i would have expected.

nice vid phil !!

I wouldn't do any of those to my car. I do hand wash the car but definitely no squeegee at the end. Have these people never heard of a micro fiber towel?

yeah, was about to edit my post to say that i wish that they had done a comparison with the wacko methods-
complete hand wash
they make the point that car washes are bad cause of swirls, but could have made it all the way (that hand washes are good at minimizing swirls)!!

I thought his name was Paul Dalton? Not Paul Townsend? Unless it's two separate people? And I wonder.. 1600GBP is about 2500us.. So he used Divine, yes?

i love the inspection process of the cars. that's hardcore stuff right there. wax is likely zymol or SV i'd say. hard to tell the exact cost because of how currency goes up and down
