*** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

Dear God.

When a man and a woman love each other very much, the man puts his "langer" into the womans "whoopsie" and becomes excited. When he reaches the height of his excitement, white stuff comes out and goes into the woman's whoopsie. This is how babies are made.
He is suggesting that your car gives you the same excitement that a woman would give a normal man, and that the white residue on your car is not Autoglym Super Resin Polish, but in fact baby gravy.

Ah im having problems with my alloys. I clean them but i cannot get the little bits of what i assume is break dust that build up in the corners of the alloys. I have tried different things but i just cant get it off!

Any ideas?

Have you tried claying them? Should do the trick

I like meguiars wheel brightener, used at a low cut it'll take off pretty much anything

Yeah, I just had to attack a set of white Mini wheels and claying yielded the best results.

What do you guys use to clean interior plastics/dashboard? I'm thinking of using a damp MF cloth and a weak dilution of APC on dirtier areas. Then finished off with a wipe over of 303 aerospace.

poorboys natural look dressing is my weapon of choice for interior plastics

I've always done all of my polishing with AG SRP, which brings out my 11 year old car perfectly. The only problem is that it doesn't last - despite several layers of wax on top.

So, I'm looking at getting a machine polisher - best to get the practice in now while I'm driving a banger

Can anyone help me on my way? What kind do you recommend? Do I need to start off with all sorts pads and polishes, and can you recommend a good tutorial or are the ones coming up on Google good enough?

Thanks

I used to use that but recently switched to Einzsett cockpit cleaner which is loads better, give it a shot (doesn't smell as nice though)

I still swear by SRP (and I've got a PC and a load of proper polishes/waxes in the garage). Just give the car a good going over with SRP then maybe some Collinite 476 on top to seal it in, should last ages.

I want to do some paint correction as well as masking

 

[[TW]Fox]

Well, mine is now all done and looks very shiney with smooth as glass paintwork. Very happy with the job.

I am now scared to take it out of the garage because its raining and will ruin the cleanlieness I used someone elses car today, lol

welcome to my world

i almost cried on my drive to work today. Its now filthy as the roads here are soaked, spraying my car with crap on the way to work :

Its so nice I cant beleive how clean it is for a 7 year old car (I also cant beleive how old it is, arghghg, it was pretty new when I got it!). It'll be a state again by the I do 170 miles up the M5.

 

[Fr0dders]

do what i do, bring a couple of microfibres and some spray detailer.

I plan on finding a jetwash near powerstation and stick £1 in just to hose it off. Good thing about waxed cars is they are dead easy to get clean again.

Isn't it a 51 plate? That'd make it at least 8 years old?

Wish my wasn't chipped to hell on the front. Otherwise a wheel refurb and proper clean would have it more or less mint.

51 = Sep 01 to Feb 02. I shall celebrate its 8th birthday with a thread in many months time, don't wish it away It is exactly 7 years and 4 months old

I've had a letter come through instructing me to clean the Passat, it goes off to auction in a month.

God I don't think I can bring myself to do it, the neighbours will laugh.
