Show your car you care

[pgarner]

Ok the great weathers been here for around a week. How many have been out and treated they cars to a good wash and wax ?

After a small issue at work last week the car was covered in a fine layer of whey powder. so thinking it might be a good idea to get it washed off. After 3 hard hours of hosing scrubbing bit of polishing for a small scratch and waxing it. at last its back to a decent shine.

shame the alloys are letting it down, but there only on for the MOT on friday then ill get the audi ones back on

Gave mine a wash on the weekend, didnt wax it all though - takes forever!

Going to get a clay bar and some other stuff like some nice cloths, then redo it in a week or two.

meguires do a spray on wax thats realy good and only 8 quid a bottle, takes 2 minuites now

I showed mine the hose pipe for first time in about 2 years. And cleaned out the inside. Goes much better now - not so much because of reduced weight but more because there's less clutter in the footwell so I can get the accelerator down a bit further

I gave my baby a good wash on the outside (inside is clean anyway). I washed every single part of the outside and it look amazing in the sun.....

It rained the next day!

I love waxing my bonnet, its just so awesome after a good wax.

Although I have a few stone chips/one large light scratch now.

I wont get a black car again despite how cool it looks clean lol.

busy with exams just now but once theyre done the cars getting the full autoglym treatment (took me ages to save up n buy all the autoglym products -theres loads of them) with a meguiars clay bar treatment before the polishing and glossing.

Wow that looks clean...fancy cleaning my car as well?!

 

[pgarner]

aye ge us the civic for a day after you get the 18 engine in it and all hink about it

nah the blacks shown up really well. the bora was looking good as well but couldnt get the shine on it. need touch up pens for both as theres a few stone chips on both bonnets needing taken care of

a nice bird left a prezzie on it about 10 mins after finishing the golf so peed off at that.

Hmmm...worth a thought!

 

[pgarner]

wot a day in a civic for an couple of hours work. the bora was about 3 hours and the golf about hour and half to 2 hours. didnt do the glass thou

thinking about getting a buffer but worried about the swirels
has anybody used one before?

 

[Prince]

Hahaha! I'll tell you what, if we all go on a track day sometime (after the conversion)...you can have a lap or 2 as long as you wash it afterwards! Inside and out!

 

[pgarner]

ohh no i only do the outside
dont know what you might get up to in it

 

[Prince]

Hahahahahaha! Fine...just give the mats a shake!

 

[HDi fun]

I find that washing mine and then sprinkling some dust over it is enough to deter the birds
