Quick clean your car

[kalniel]

I thought the point of owning a car is that you *don't* have to clean it...?

Not all of us got free manservants with our purchase

A sponge?! How very dare you Zak! You should be using a wash mitt.

nope.. new sponge nearly every time.. wash mishs hold too much crap

Unless you bought a Land Rover, then you ought to return the vehicle to the dealer and DEMAND your free manservant.... assumes, of course, that you also weren't *complete* pleb and fell for free plush Meerkat they offerings, instead, no....?

Oh my gods, you fell for Meerkat, didn't you?
Much apologies, friend, but you are victims of Sergei's pyramid-markets schemes and has not legs to stands on. Simples!

But no, here's how it works:
Cars are for Driving.
Harleys are for Polishing.

If you're fretting over how shiny your vehicle is and it doesn't say HARDLY MOVINGSON on it, you're doin' it wrong!!

Found my solution :

Autoglym Rapid Detailer spray from Halfords for £8.99
Removes dust without leaving a trail and at the same time, it leaves the body waxed.

Sounds like the Autoglym version of the Williams stuff I use. It may even be the same, in a different bottle. I've come across several that look either the same or very similar, smell the same and from watching friends/neighbours, appear to essentially work the same. I wouldn't be surprised to find a big chemical company producing the stuff and selling it to all these companies that then stick it in a bottle with their name on it.

Is it a sort-of milky white liquid, but thicker and more viscous than milk, maybe more like single cream, with quite a strong, sweet almost to the point of sickly aroma?

I bet you can't type that with a straight face!!

[Saracen]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean. And don't explain or I might have to ban you.

Saracen, I am not sure what the liquid looks like. It's a spray bottle. When I spray it on the car , it looks clear like water.
It does have a sweet aroma, smells flowery... like a boquet of roses and lavender ?



This is me and my buddy Simon cleaning up my car :


Well, can't blame a fella for trying

[Saracen]

What, the 2CV in the back left corner?

If it's clear and watery, if's not the same stuff. Mine, ummm, isn't. And I think I'll leave it at that.

I usually make use of a California duster to gently remove the dust over the surface and Megs last touch and MF towel to remove light stains and debris.

Might need shaking to mix up all the ingredients. The solids may have settled.

[sneakerhead]

I just bring my ride to the car wash because I am too busy to clean it myself.

OMG, so much innuendo in this thread now....Must... not... post...
Will... get... bannnnnnnnnnnnned..........!!!!!!!!!!

Day 2 since applying the Autoglym spray, my Ford still looks sparkly and I am beginning to think that the spray must have anti-dust capabilitiy.

I think I am in love again, just like the time I discovered Mr. Muscle bleach toilet cleaner!
