Detailling - worth it?

[meathead]

Is it just for show, or does detailing have a practical purpose? Once it's been done,is it easy to maintain, or does the whole process need doing every so often?

Apologies for numpty question!!

Of course it is worth it.

A great sense of personal achievement and pride is obtained for having a super clean shiny car.

The obvious benefit are the car will be worth more when you if you've looked after it.

Secondly it keeps your ting in with your yang, creates positice che and surrounds the car in apositive aura which means it won't break down.

Also it is a well known fact that a polished car IS faster! In fact I've just made that up.

As for keeping on top of it, as rule of thumb, any self respecting bloke should clean his car at least once a week and wax it at least once a month. Alloy wheels may need cleaning twice a week.

Is it worth re-arranging mats, CD cases etc. in a feng shui manner as well?

Mines not been washed in about 3 months..... i normally do try and keep it clean, but i've been very busy lately....

Going to give it a good ol'd going over at the weekend, but i know it'll be filthy again by monday night.

I'm working in Liverpool for the next 18 months and eighty-odd miles of Motorway everyday isn't the best way to keep a car clean

You'd have to have a consulation with a feng-shoo-eey person.

It involves no doubt the careful placement of crystals and the installation of an indoor waterfall (12 volt of course) on your back shelf.

Hmm car washing is for sissie.

The dirtier a car, the more manly the driver.

I thought it was the dirtier the mind?

Cleaning your car burns calories. Calories which don't have to be burned moving some piece of junk at the gym.

It always strikes me as strange, the number of people that pay to go to the gym then pay people to do manual labour for them. Bonkers!

Your both wrong (Sam & Smokey).

It is all in the details.

Think about what women want, they don't want a bloke with dirty fingernails that looks shabby.

Subsequently they are no impressed by a dirty car that probably has the internal odour of stale farts and old kebabs.

Ignor if married as she probably either will love you anyway or she actually has got used to the smell of your farts and secretly likes them although she'll never admit it.

Anyway, a dirty car is shamefull at this time of year, it does get light at 4.30am and dark at 9.30pm so there is always time.
