Default Jamz3k's Day Of Detailing

To set the scene, i've got a computer tan, i could do with a wee drink as i haven't had one in ages and the cars filthy. Only one thing to do, WASH THE CAR!

My tools of choice

As you can see, only the best, Russian Vodka and some Carlsberg, oh and some cleaning products

half an hour later


Rather happy with the result

Bit early for drinking?

And, after enjoying you're drinks who moves the car.
Better watch out, cause you've still got R plates on

I see you've got a broken bucket - did you fall on it after enjoying said drinks

the bucket actually broke whilst i was trying to throw it full of water over the car, handle snapped at the bucket itself smacked my back window!

had to drive the car around the side of the house cus some randomers have parked outside my door, thought my hose would stretch but NAY!

As for drinking i must confess i only had the one as i have to pick up the missues at 6. the Vodka actually has stuff init to clean plastics

Very professional as ever.
You really are just wasting your time hanging round shopping centres trying to sell packages to people that dont want them.Get out there and make a decent honest living as a detailer.

Cheeky beggar! Unfortunately my detailing skills are just as good as my sales skills, the cars scrapped, dented, swirled paint, tar all over the side and watermarked but you know what, i bought it to drive it like i stole it so its all good!

I've bought all the best cleaning products i could afford and be to be honest i don't have the patience to use it anymore. A wash with Megs NXT Car Wash and a spray over with AutoGlym Aqua Wax and the car looks grand for half an hours work!

Any salesman that sells you an HDMI cable thru its merits of being Gold Plated is either stupid or thinks you are stupid thats a fact. How many devices have Gold plated terminals? Its all about the cable and the sheilding my friend!

The car isn't looking too bright today, the inside of my tyre ripped to shreds coming off a roundabout at Craigavon today Need 2 new front tyres and my tracking sorted out

PS 50mile trip home with a space saver wheel fitted shall be fun
