Shenley Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) So paid some attention to fellow members and cleaned the car. Weather today was overcast - so I went for it Gave it a wash using Costco's finest bulk buy stuff, used two buckets. [got told off by the wife for using two] No sponge, just one of those weird mitten things. [wife commented on what do you look like...] Went to wipe it down but the wife had nicked my new microfiber because it cleans the house windows real nice So had to wash the microfiber. Stole the plasticine from the kids next door and wet the car with some posh stuff and rubbed the plasticine all over the paintwork. Washed the car again. [got told off by the wife again - you've just washed it!] Microfiber was to hand this time Gave it a good polish with some stuff that the Prince of Wales recommends [doubt he would ever use it himself.....] Then gave it a good old fashioned wax with some extract from a long extinct bird. Took me the best part of six hours. .............. I then washed the wife's car which took just under an hour. One day I will open a fancy picture account, one day...... and today is the day [updated] Edited November 28, 2013 by Shenley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
