Sometimes you can't help but look at your car once you have washed it! Post your pics..

Scrubbed the big boat today.

Did this as a favour for a chum - ex London car so loads of wee stupid marks and plastic arch trim faded from poor fuel filling, came up well.

Coat of hybrid applied today

Just today? I admire your passion for keeping your car clean, but I don't know how you find the time and will! The actual washing doesn't bother me, it's getting everything set up and put away after that limits the frequency of my washes.

Black car is starting to get to me too, can spend ages getting it mint, drive nowhere and it still ends up stinking with dust/pollen/rain.

I live beside a sycamore tree when I had the black Passat I could wash and dry it and it was covered in pollen and sap within an hour.

I too hate dragging everything out I think it takes longer than the washing.

Still at it not long in, just pick away at it throughout the day. Wasn’t plans for today but just the way it happened

C2 applied
Tyres glossed again
Windscreen polished
Hoovered inside (S3/Q5/DS3)
DS3 tar removed
Q5 decomtaminated (then she had to leave so will remove tar tomorrow)

Don't think it's ever been snowfoamed before. Don't actually think it's even had a proper wash.

Needs a proper going over at some point, was mainly just a quick wipe down to see what all bits are broken or need TLC.

Start to finish it's a 2 hour process for me to wash the car

Washed it to see what I have actually bought. (Bought blind via trade auction in England) Hopefully takes plenty of miles, highly unlikely to be cleaned until mot again.

Not my car but rather that put it in the Random thread. . . . @Mel daughters first car.
New rear tyres, drums and calipers painted, windows polished and coated, then a scrub round all the rubbers etc that were green with moss. Washed, then Autofinesse tripple over the lot.
Swirl central but it'll be going through car washes so no point in worrying. Other than that it's in pretty good shape. Mel sorted the interior including new mats.
All in one day. Started at 9am with the tyres @RubberLover, Mels just away to drop it of at 6.30pm as I slicked the tyres.

Clio clean for another week!

[Rigger]

Plenty of flies on the front after Comber last night, and Magherafelt today. Snow foam wash only, but it's come up well again.

Ready for Blackheath tomorrow, but I suspect it'll be covered in flies again by the time I get up there!

Heard you leaving last night (coming off the grass). Nice wee rumble on tick over from her

I am of course biased, but love this!

Only bad thing about the car. You're so cossetted inside, you really have to gun the engine to hear it properly

That looks awesome. Do you want to clean my van?

I've always said I'd love to do it for a living, not the whole machine polish thing, just everything before that. A good old wash/polish/wax, interior, wheels, tidying up wee bits and pieces.
But then I remember it's fine spending all weekend on your own car but there's no way anyone would pay you what you'd need to make money at it. And of course I'm absolutely knackered

Planned to get 2 done, but after doing the X5 this morning I’ve literally been working in the garden until 5mins ago.

 

[Boydie]

I’m only getting dinner
