Detailing

[damianke]

Hi, all

I'm thinking of having my V12V properly detailed. There's been quite a bit of discussion about using various products, but what I want to know is about the after care. I use my car as a DD, so it gets pretty grubby, especially at this time of year. I've got the impression (probably wrongly) that it will be cleaned/protected/polished to within an inch of its life by a professional but then it's up to me.

I've no desire to keep polishing it with cloths made from hand-reared alpacas for the rest of its life. Can I just give it a normal wash? Can the East Europeans at the local hand car wash do it weekly as now? Or will this undo all the good work?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies so far; very helpful. It's Carbon Black.

The intermittent idea sounds quite sensible. Any recommends in the NW (I'm Wilmslow based)?

I see your point! The 'Amateurs' comment above rings v true...
