Re: Qashqai e-Power through a carwash

[quote=A £5.00 scratch and shine...are you joking, if you want your car washing with acid and sandpaper then go ahead. I'd suggest looking for a local mobile valeter/detailer who'll know how to wash a car properly eg...pre wash, snow foam, 2 bucket (with grit guards) contact wash and drying the car...

Looks like everyone on here can afford the high priced tyres.
