DO YOU CLEAN YOUR CAR YOURSELF?

[Admiral of the Humber]

I think you are right Darknightie....it was bloody cold...but they were all so cheerful.

They are welcome to 5 of my English pounds.

nice to see you keeping the Ull economy ticking over

I have NEVER used one of these hand car wash jobs....until today.

I went to Sainsbo's this morning for some odds and sods and there were a group of Kosovans/ Albanians/ Swarthy foreign chappies doing a roaring trade. I thought I'd give it a go....and £5 and 15 minutes later...I am converted and am unlikely to clean my own car again.

Good to see another convert

...but have you checked for those faint micro-scratches?

[Romig1]

Mine went through the Sainsbug's drive-through yesterday. I elected the cheapy "Express-Wash" which was supposed to include a wheel-wash as I think that dirty alloys look terrible and shiny ones make the whole car appear cleaner.
When I got back to work I was non-too-pleased to see the alloys have hardly been touched!

[Admiral of the Humber]

Dear Romig,

I'll cope with a few micro scratches......or rather the car leasing company will!!

[Admiral of the Humber]

Mr Kosovan did a great job on the alloys!

OH does ours as and when the pelting rain hasn't cleaned it enough as for me cleaning it - are you serious Sir Rob? No way I have much more fun and important things to do with my weekend like chatting to my buddies on here besides I can't reach over the roof!

[Wina G]

Neither can I Babs & mine's only a little Peugeot 207

know the feeling Wina - so much better to let the OH do it

[jacksparrow]

I have to use steps if I wash my car but usually find someone to do it for me...

In relation to scratches, many years ago I inadvertently got some scratches on the works car and my boss told me to get some duraglit and rub them out, believe it or not it worked...

He doesn't do his own never mind mine I take it to the hand car wash en-route to town

[JohnTheDog]

Out of interest I noticed on FB someone posting saying they had used the "park at our house" & they cleaned the car before they came back.

That's 'cos it's a very mild abrasive, like T-cut.

If you scuff a black/grey plastic bumper, spray it with WD40

[Admiral of the Humber]

Dear Shiney,

If I try that on the scuff on my bumper and it goes a bit wrong.....will I be able to sue you?

Rob

Dunno, Rob, haven't met Sue yet....
