Car wash conundrum

Post by Tabz123 » Sat Apr 22, 2017 7:06 pm

So I was busy today and after ages decided to go to a car wash

Bloody t#%s scratched my bumper. But wont admit it. So angry. Was punished for not washing myself !

Same with me. No-one else gets to wash the Discovery, let alone the Zed.

A machine? What were you thinking :o

A hand job with a soft mitt and a big pair of buckets is the answer...

After realising my errors I just went straight into the deep end today. Washed, clay barred, polished and then gloss sealed the wax/paint. 4 hours and an aching back!

The wife said she prefers scratches at a car wash rather than getting involved in this cleaning routine again 🙈
