    Sat here watching someone else freezing their bits off washing my car. ..

    I was going to it myself honest...but the hosepipe had frozen up ..honest ..;)

    I do normally wash it myself buy every now and again I do use our foreign friends ..

    They do a good job as well...

  4. Cover up the air intakes when you get there.....a lot of spray will go through them otherwise! (remove them before driving off)

    I do normally as I am quite precious about my car , but sometimes ...just sometimes I really can't be bothered and today was one of them...a and I do suspect the hose would have been frozen solid anyway :)

    I’ve washed my daily once myself, in the last year. I always wash the camper myself though.

My first weekend job as a lad was working in my mates dads car wash , it had a couple of pipes running in carport type roof with holes in one with soapy water running thru the end one just cold water rinse , then we had two towels stitched together one each side then drag up over bonnet and roof then boot :eek: then we all Cham eeeed off after wiping door shuts ,. Polish was extra :) good tips thou , we got 11 bob for a sat n 12 and six for a Sunday morn plus tips . Ray King used to bring his roller down n gave us a fiver tip ta share ,he owned big night club where the three degrees jimmy jones etc used to appear. Luv cleaning and polishing dunno why don’t get paid now :(

    My wife traded her car in last year , we reckon it had been washed probably 3 times in the 3 years she had it, never ever cleaned the inside...a proper Marmite tip...anyway I cleaned it just before it went in...it was mint! I guess the lack of cleaning had prevented any scratching and swirling...

  17. Never underestimate that protective layer of filth :thumbsup:

    I wash my van by hand, but who ever washes their daily driver? It's not normal.
