You can claim to have it cleaned, many companies have their fleet cleaned at a cost.

However, if you are going to claim £1000's then the tax man may not except the full cost, esp. If your roller and Ferrari appear to be in concours condition

i think it would be twice a year thing, i tend to wash it myself on a weekly basis, using PURIFIED  WATER FOR BEST RESULTS ;) ;) ;) but thought i would get polished professionally every now and then

Just avoid the rust and the bit where it says "Escort" and you'll be fine.

Found it best to use carnauba wax as it plant based and not synthetic. It doesn't mess up the writing and goes on in layers.
