If you care about your car then none. Best bet is to call a local mobile detailer/valet that will at least use clean equipment and snow foam!

Leathers are worn when out on the Bike,
Who the hell uses a leathers these days, fibre cloths work a treat.

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I am physically limited and can't do a 2 bucket hand wash, was able to 15 years ago.
Will call one of the mobile guys then

I am in Thatcham and have a detail guy next to our office who does mobile. He could perhaps look after your car etc. Let me know if you want details on him.

I use Prestige Hand Car wash in Crowthorne (5 mins from the end of the A329M Bracknell) every 6 weeks or so to keep my bus reasonably respectable. Slightly more expensive than some of the other local car washes but having tried most of the others these guys are good - £30 for a good inside/outside clean with a liquid wax coating.

Mixed reviews on Google but I've never had an issue with them, that said I usually go mid-morning in the middle of the week when they're quiet so probably take a little longer to complete the job than a weekend when the cars can be 8-10 deep waiting to get washed.

Used to be a good classic car meet once a month next door, stopped due to lack of attendance. I'm only 9 mins away, and my mates COPO is 3 mins from me.

I'll probably try and get to a few of the Bagshot breakfast meets at Pine Ridge Golf club once I've moved (and I've got the 32 back)
