Make sure that you go for a decent one Alex, in all seriousness. If it breaks they are worthless if under the 3 series as they can't repair the motor.
Our old one lasted 3 years, then broke. Bought a new one and made sure it was repairable.
Tescos usually cheapest place mate.
Re the scourer, use the rough side with degreaser and warm water when you wash the car. Then dry with a secondary towel. Then apply gel once properly dried.
TBH Luke, purely depends on what they did and how bad the car was. I do this as a hobby, not a business. I definately could not survive/make a living out of how much I charge per car, but that is why I have a large client base with a lot of CSers outstanding/yet to do!!
Was it purely paint...
WTF is Mike? Lol. Mikey? Birdaids?
AG glass polish young lad, easy stuff to use. Mate, the Clio is defo one of the best at clearing! Warms up fooking quickly in the morning. I was always warm and toasty by the first bypass round about where as a mate was usually stone cold in his Fezza.
What are you doing to make it fog up a lot??? ;)
Keeping it clean is the best bet. I polished the inside with glass polish and that was it. The screen will fog up due to the current freezing weather, not a lot you can do about that matey.
Re polish the windscreen lad.
Wash car, dry, tape up rubbers and plastics once fully dry, polish with SRP or AG Glass Polish.
I waxed it when it was detailed, but dependant on conditions/chemicals used to wash it, this may have vanished by now.
Putting the towels in the dryer ruins them lad :( it de-charges the microfibre. The idea is that the charged "hooks" of the MF lift the water and polish off the paint, to stop scratches.
MF still need to be rung out after using it on half of the car. Buying a couple of towels is never a bad...
What cool factor??
Have to be honest, I am a petrol head. I like cars. I like design. I love driving.
That car, to me, is not cool.
Not being mean or bitchy or any of the other terms you want to use. Just fail to see the point in it :)
I'm saying I don't like/see the point in city cars Justine ;)

offffft, change from your 13.5k!
From the above comments? Don't buy one.
You haven't a clue (no offense) :) Get it done by somebody and concentrate on keeping it in good condition.
But judging by your avatar, it's a proper 4x4 (meaning it goes off road), so IMO waste of time.
I am a detailer. The R8, Aston, RS6 and RS4...
Basically this.
If you wanted two seats (I know it has four, I am being facetious), buy a sporty little number.
If you wanted a city car, buy a bike/cycle.
If you wanted a car, at least get something people won't accidentally step on when crossing the roads of London!
