Spent 6 hrs valeting my daily driver. Our neighbours must think I’m mad, but I f’ing love it, totally relaxing despite being hard work.

I wouldn’t use one of those hand carwashes if you paid me. Pretty much guaranteed to scratch your paint. You’re better off going through and automatic car wash as they scratch less.
My regime,
Send the wife out with a cloth and a bottle of Evian when the Lithuanian neighbour is doing his. Two minutes later he’s doing ours, works every time.

I have an 06 reg 1.2 Corsa that was owned by an octogenarian for 10 years.
Scratched paint is the least of its problems, and the guys up the road really do make it quite shiny (despite its manifold scratches, scrapes and dings).

It’s great having an old car. I got some new scratch on the driver’s door recently. Couldn’t give a shit.
