Do you still wash your car in the winter?
My car looks like its been attacked by a case of Super-aids but personally i think its too cold to wash it and i'm too skint to get someone else to wash it what the **** is a man to do in a situation like this?
Personally i've drank enough tonight that i'm tempted to do it myself right now but i am concerned that i may create swirls in my paintwork due to the poor lighting conditions and being rubbered yours truely James Esq. |
leave it mate !!!
it will be rank in about 200 yrds of using it again !!! just do what i do and follow a lorry close behind in the rain, that tends to clean the front a bit !! ;) |
I don't wash it in summer!!

Plus an Alfa will fall to bits (quicker) unless kept clean.

I'm not convinced a meeting of water and the wiring of an Alfa should be risked. :wonder:

Winter time is probably the most important time out of the whole year to give it a regular clean, all that salt dosent do it favours and dosent take to long to start corroding things either

Far too cold for a proper wash n wax:eek:
Quick jet wash to remove the sh1t:thumb: Can you imagine trying to wax in this:lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1: |
give it a jetwash down the local cleanpark £3 or so should rid most salt deposits.
rally slag scoobs look good filthy, so thats my excuse !! |
Jamz, you live near the sea dont you.... Back her down the the slipway then turn her round and put her down it nose first, should take the rough off her!!!
|

I must confess to quite liking the way the Golf looks at the minute :cool:
I left it sat on our snow covered works car park in the sun yesterday, in amongst all the shiny rep-mobiles, just totally absorbing any light that came near it, giving absloutley no clue as to what colour it might have been when it left the factory :D |
hahaha love it.... this thread requires more pics me thinks....
|
i will get pics up tomorrow i just fear it may be illegal for me to get within a meter of my car at the mo!:lol1:

You'll be OK so long as you don't have the keys on your person ;) |
in winter i dont wash the car myself
have a mobile valeter who comes to my house to wash it. £15 (regular customer price, normally £5 a wheel and no free wash) for a wash and wax along with all 4 alloys cleaned! absolutely spotless, front and back, better his hands breaking when they hit the caliper by accident than mine lol although he usually takes the wheel off if he's not happy with the work :) does extras like polishing etc at an additional cost too :) both parties hapy, he's coming today at 11am :P |

Worth giving the car a good coat of wax before the winter starts and keeping the worst of the crud off it to prevent water seeping into the cracks.

Who cares, its the middle of winter and perhaps a covering of grime, salt and snow will cover up the fact its an Alfa and people might think its something half decent under there !
PS, only joking, Regards, the 39 year old virgin from the internet. |
