shire350Z Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Was giving the Z a good old clean at my dads when my sister turns up and decided to clean her clio, so she asked if i knew where a sponge was, disgusted at this point she'd even asked me that Next minute i could'nt believe my eyes shes using a dish cloth to wash her car, and the cars filthy so she's doing the wheels lower part of the car and top half all at same time I tried to tell her how it would be killing the paintwork but then she just said it would be fine, she was taking it to be cleaned 'properly' by the polish jesus christ!!! i just had to walk off Quote
stanski Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 It's a Clio deserves it don't worry give her fairy liquid and a dish sponge next time Quote

rich5259 Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 at least she hadn't got a brillo pad to make the wheels extra shiny Quote
IanS16 Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 My mate with a clio scrubbed the bird poo from his car with the green side of a scourer sponge, it looked great after Quote
srobrien Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Most people just don't have the same passion for detailing and car cleaning as us, its alien to them. I found my dads cat sleeping on top of his mr2 today and he said "aw he always does it", I almost booted his arse half way across the back garden (and the cats) . R Quote
Stew Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 For 99% of the population that would be fine. A clean cars a clean car! We are the OCDd minority who know thats not the case. Although I CAN drive a dirty car! Quote
bronzee Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 It's alright Shire we feel your pain. Especially after you'd gone to the trouble to help find the car. You didn't feel obliged to give her a steelo or something to finish up the good work?! For 99% of the population that would be fine. A clean cars a clean car! We are the OCDd minority who know thats not the case. Although I CAN drive a dirty car! I guess so, and we can only convert one person at a time, unless we instruct a class. It can be done. Quote

Although I CAN drive a dirty car! I guess so, and we can only convert one person at a time, unless we instruct a class. It can be done. Yup, Amanda used to be the same, but she soon learnt. Now shes as OCD as me, checking out swirl marks in car dealership paint and pointing out to them it needs a good polish with a PC, which most of them dont understand Quote

Although I CAN drive a dirty car! V true Stew! I washed the car and gave her a top up of red mist last Saturday ready for Knockers on the Sunday......waste of time.....after the track day and a week around Fife she is f-i-l-t-h-y I think in the Winter we should run a comp for dirtiest zed Quote
Emperor Ming Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I did this a month ago and when I had finished - a good 9 hours later - the owner, a pleasant lady, said to me. Well thats it cleaned for another year then, paid up and drove off. At least I will have my work cut out when she comes back Ming the Puzzled Quote
