Thumbs up Spring Cleaning - Thanks Polished Bliss

Big thanks to all at Polished Bliss for gthe lareg parcel I received a few weeks back

..I think I got a bit carried away with the 'Add to cart' button

Finally I have some free time to go play with it all now





I did a trial run with some of the products on the othet halfs punto.. whilst dodging the outbreaks of snow/sun/rain/snow .. neighbours thing I am completely nuts

Tommorow will be the main event on the Fozza, plan on the full Jeffs treatment, plus interior/ wheels+tyres and Engine bay

Look forward to it!

I know what you mean about the rain/snow....I kept thinking about going out for either a walk or washing the car, and then thought....nah! There were a few bright moments and then down it came again! Stayed in the house, in the warm and ripped the fireplace out instead!

Yep it can become very addictive… so many products to try out ….






Top box is all the tools brushes , tub 1 is just cloths, 2 is normal weekly wash and dress stuff, tyre dressing wax etc and the 3 one is polishes and the PC…. I would hate to add the cost of that lot…

Okay if you lot so wish. Let me get it all in some form of order and I shall take some "you sad git" photos

My neighbours already think I am odd and very worried about me. they have seen me
* wash a car in the pouring rain
* seen me scrape the ice of my car just so I can clean it again
* watched as I have stripped my interior just so I can wash and hover the whole inside
* take off all the wheels and spend 2 days cleaning and dressing/repainting the arches
* watched in sheer disbelief as I sat there giving my engine bay a good clean with a toothbrush

etc etc etc.

They will be besides themselves with mirth, when they see my latest toy, the elite foam lance

The tractor is just a bit dusty, there are undertrays that seem to keep most of the crap out - though as I discovered yesterday, they also do a good job of catching anything you drop into the engine bay, rather than letting it fall straight through onto the garage floor.

On the other hand, the scooby has about 13 years' worth of accumulated oil and other crud under the lid, and Muddy did such a good job on the paintwork it seems a shame to leave it that way... you busy tomorrow?

Look forward to the pics.. I am also guilty as charged of some of the above, namely day before yesterday, wah car whilst snowing, rinse of car whilst snowing, dry off car with towels in prep to polish only for it to sideways rain/sleet before I finished and repeat about 3 times

Lol at the Foam Lance

.. and cant they think of anything more orginal to say than 'Your not cleaning it again are you" and "You can start on mine when your finished" .. Then the other neighbours come out and say it all again, thinking there the most original lines in the world

Thumbs up Todays Progress

So, it was actually a nice day today and so got up early and stuck in.

So far have done: Interior, door shuts, skirts, arches, wheels/tyres, exhaust and engine bay.

Tommorrow is the main event for the Jeffs Kit, if the weather holds out. Would have had it done today, but mrs got a strop on with it being Easter Sunday

I love the pb stuff I got so far, the Jeffs Prime Strong and poorboys sealant have brought up the wheels a treat and the APC and dressing used on the bay looks awesome.

Pics up tommorrow with the finished look

it fills me with a warm feeling in the knowledge that there are some sad and weird gits out there as me

keep up the good work, I can always point my disbelieving neighbours in your direction if they think I am mad

Will have a look in Argos, I was looking at them in Halfords as they had some on special offer .

I have just come in to Thaw out a bit, been out there for an hour and a half allready, trying to beat the weather.

I was going to give my garage a clean and to take a pic of all the stuff, but after those shots, I think it would be a bit of letdown
