Cleaning your car when its -4c

Seemed like an excellent idea at the time. I managed to turn my driveway into an ice rink. Awesome.

In between the ice forming I managed to get a quick layer of wax on.

Don't watch the photography skills. There aren't any.

Bloody idiot taxi driver down the road from us has been washing his car in the street today, rinsed off with his hosepipe....

Warm wash buckets and sheepskin wash mit keeps the hands toasty

I couldn't fancy doing it this weather but that wax might help keep some of the salt off your body work. Did you wax under the car...lol

I borrowed some grit from the box at the end of the road and made sure the paths and road next to me wasn't iced over after the cleaning. Also spread some on the corner of the road too because I'm a good samaritan.

Smokey McPot · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:52

It was dirty.

And it will get dirty again within minutes of driving it next.

Smokey McPot · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:54

That's fairly obvious.

Pointless

....but love your car. Always had a thing for the Clio Williams.

Gave mine a good wash today too, wanted to get all the salt n crap from under the arches. It's in the garage now, all clean until tomorrow anyway.

I washed mine before doing a 100 mile drive to pick up the grand parents for christmas, within half a mile the car looked like it did before.

Pretty pointless in this weather unless the roads have dried out.

Firestar_3x · 20 Dec 2009 at 17:07

Haven't cleaned mine in about 2 months now, very unlike me, too cold to bother with

Should be out there doing a full detail. You're a disgrace.
