Washed My Car

[MadManz]

ROFL, Nice and Kleen!

Not for the oil on the ground but...

[Topaz]

I washed my car about 3 days ago and did it quite well, but unforetunately the wind and sprinklers totally ruined all my good work so I had to clean it again *sigh. So this time I took some pictures and cleaned it even better . Plus I got myself a new camera for christmas.

And heres the steps i took to wash my car:

1. Have a dirty car....check

2. Wet the car first so when you are rubbing the car to wash it you don't scratch it

3. Bucket of soapy water and off you go

4. Dump 2-3 buckets of soapy water over the car

5. Rinse

6. Wait a few minutes for some of the water to evaorate or run off the car

7. Chamois the car, rinsing the chamois every so often

8. Waxed using soft clothe and rubbing applied area for ~8 seconds or until dry

9. Then did windows and interior and wheels for the extra cleanliness B) (My windows were hella dirty on the inside)

So we start with the filthy car....

Bloody sprinklers

Now we select our weapons of choice, as you can see theres a whole range of cleaning products I used here. I just got a brand new Chamois Clothe for christmas too so I can use that for the rub down B).....

Didn't take any pics while the car was wet, but after it was washed and chamoised dry I took a break. Twas quite hot today

Bout 2 hours later:

This shot shows my bumper + side of garage door damage

So, go get some good cleaning gear and wash your car too . And remember not to do it when your sprinklers are due on the next day...Also to my utter dismae, I had this lovely big pool of engine blood under my car when I moved it . Time to book it in for a service I thinks...

cheers

yeah!

as I was washing it at my house?

you drive a Stag Wag?

.......I need some spacers...it looks so sad with that offset

[GWP021]

i put the pressure hose on cherry red does that count?

with a red dirt driveway it takes mabe half a day to get covered in dust again so i just go with a quick wash monthly and polish at least half yearly other than that its "hmm cant see out windscreen best get hose"

[Topaz]

Looking at the pic taken from the back of the car, what size spacers would I need for the front wheels there?. I really need spacers..........

[SLIPPERY]

sell em and get some dish tom!

those wheels are common on commodores arent they?

[Topaz]

Thats an option too, I just don't have the money at the moment and I need to get some other things done first....I was thinking about those Do-Luck double 'sex' rims, but they are 11ty billion dollars too expensive

i like multi spoke deep dish and can't seem to find any

Now thats deep:

[SLIPPERY]

have you had a look at the sponsor who does the jap wheel packages??

seems to always have something dishy and large going at a reasonable price

It always seems when I wash my car it will rain about 2 days later. Happened again today, but because of the power outage last night, it meant I couldn't get my skyline out from behind the rollerdoor, for some reason it was stuck & couldn't open it manually. So it's still pretty clean, me 1 weather 0.

Whenever I wash my car, do small sections & wash the soap off straight away, otherwise the soap dries out very quickly & will leave marks. I just wish my car would be able to stay this shiny:

[Hotrod]

So when are you comming over to wash my car?

It is nice and dirty now that it has rained today.

[Josh]

I find that works better too - if you wash smaller bits then rinse it... then dry the whole thing later.. not too much later tho..

With the Polish on the Headlights, is it on going? is there anything you can do to clear it up properly? or just buy new headlights?

thanks

The car's winking mate, try & keep up

It's just the way the light has come off from under the roof in the picture, there's nothing wrong with either of them. To the left of the car is my house & is completely covered, and about a metre to the right is the fence where the light comes in.
