Detailing and motorway? Do they mix?

[b1nuzz]

Hi guys,

My black LCR is in need of a few scratches sorting out and a good polish/wax etc etc so i want to take it somewhere in Bristol to get it done. (No idea where yet!)

Anyways, i do about 300-400 miles a week all on the motorway. At the end of every week my car looks like its been dragged through a salt storage pit.

If i spend loads of money getting it waxed etc, is it all going to be wasted in a few days time after i have done some miles?

If it is worth it, does anyone know someone in the bristol area that does this kind of thing?

Thanks

Ben

good question as i do many miles on motorways daily myself and was contemplating a detailing session myself

Well, you're never going to to stop it getting dirty. But once it's been sorted out and a has some good protection on it only takes a wash to bring it back and the occasional top up to keep the protection up.

I suffer the same, but mine is country roads rather than motorways. But it will go form this:

To this with a quick wash:

OK, so maybe ill look at getting it done up all nice then.

After that, it should hopefully just be a case of keeping it nice.

Righty, time to find someone in Bristol that can do it?!!

Cheers mate

I do a minimum of 500 a week & the addition of a good quality wax/sealent really does help keep the car cleaner.

The slickness of the paint doesnt allow the crud to stick as much, & as Rubbish boy says, it makes cleaning time a whole lot easier.

Also keep on top of the cleaning. Once a week minimum if you're doing that sort of mileage to keep on top of it.
