In this video I share my 10 minute car wash routine that has changed my life! No longer do you need to spend 30-120mins per week with a full wash and protect routine. Instead you can just use this incredible 10 minute routine once or twice a week and your car will always look great.

I also explain the products I use for the 4 to 6 weekly contact wash and protect routine that keeps this contactless routine working so well.

Here are all the products and extra details in the routine:
