My process for a White Car with decent condition paint...

@ The local Spray'n'Pay
1min High Pressure Rinse to remove solid chunks.
1min run around with the Tyre, Wheel & Engine cleaner to break down the oils and crap (It's not overly strong at my local place, so doesn't kill the wax etc)

1min High Pressure Rinse
3min to go over the car with a microfiber cloth

1min High Pressure Rinse

Move it to one of the detailing bays and dry it off with a different microfiber cloth

I do this maybe once a fortnight on my way home from work...

If I'm feeling keen and its a weekend, I'll then take it home, give it another quick wipe down with a clean cloth and then give it a quick coat of wax on wax off, Mr Miagi style.

I don't have full days free every month to do constant detailing on it :P

Y U no wash at home?

When I do a touch up wash at the car wash, it goes:

- High pressure soap to cover the entire car and leave to soak for a minute

- High pressure soap holding gun 30cm from car and running it over each panel, takes bout two minutes

- High pressure rinse off and low pressure / clean water rinse if time left

This leaves car spotless from a metre away!

Everyone who washes their car regularly should at least wax; makes it so much easier to wax and dirt scratches car less.

Plus who doesn't love a good wax on the bonnet and then driving in the rain and seeing the rain drops actually bounce up 10cm off the car after they hit it :)

a well waxed car you wont even need high pressure or waterless wash crap

hell I just clean my car with a spray bottle of light detergant and a chamois most of the time..takes about 10 minutes

no... someone in a green car touched the mrs... will need to use

fyp....

seriously though...clay probably wont fix that....but i can ;)

It could do with a decent detail actually... A few of the panels need some correction :/ and the front bar needs a fiberglass repair / respray first though.

Then it'll be much nicererer.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
