Like keeping your car clean?

My worry is that sure, he keeps it clean, but what about the grease and other lubricatants he washes away when he jet-washes under the wheels arches?

Thats if vauxhall bothered to use any grease in the first place (my dad is always moaning about the lack of greased parts on cars....they never come off easily, he;s always bashing off shocks and stuff with a hammer...)

What was his reason for cleaning the car like that? Unless he was going to load it into the back of a truck and take it to a vauxhall exhibition then there is no point.
How much would that cost him?! The foam he probably had to hire, the 50 litres of "roe?" water he used, and the hours and hours of work... As soon as he drives off his immaculate finish will be ruined.

that astra VXR was cleanish but it wasn't KWAK CLEEEEEEEENN!!!!!!!!!!!!

My step dad was obbsessed with cleaning his car, to the point he would leather it before he drove it anywhere, polished it once a week, would avoid puddles, etc etc.

I used to keep my car clean, and the bike for that matter, but not to the extremes they do on that site.

Oh my god. Anal or what.

I want to be his friend. He sounds like such a fun chap.

I once met an old boy who polished is Jag X-type so much that he went through the paint in several places. The car was less then two months old. He was also an OCD afflicted CO(K.

That's why you should use a wax, not an abrasive polish.
