Mayday weekend.
 
What a fantastic way to view how scummy your neighbourhood is. I've watched 2 parents battle it out in public infront of their young son, a man jump into his car whilst drinking a bottle of Strongbow and driving off, a fella walking past my street so wiped out he looked like an extra from Walking Dead and a Dad throw full abuse at his son for embarrassing him by wanting to take some toys with him as he got dragged to the pub!

Oh and a know it all you're "doing it wrong" car cleaning inspector.

All this whilst I was washing my car.

No car cleaning here its persisting it down

We aren't allowed to use a hosepipe either, but the Iraqi carwash keeps going.

Saturday and Sunday over here in norn iron was great, I bought myself a Kestrel DAS-6 at the start of the week to buff up the car and was really itching to get playing with it, thankfully I believe in the Dear Lord Baby Jesus and he granted me my wish!:D

You're selling the area well, is the area known for being a **** hole?

How did you get on with the DAS-6? I bought one back end of last year and am still yet to have a go! It was nerves, now its a hosepipe ban!

Myles, it's blooming brilliant! I got one with Mezerna pads and compound/polish and within a few passes my paintwork looked fantastic and it really cut down the swirl marks. It's a long process to get it ready for cutting polishing though, I tried to do the whole car and as a result didn't get as good a finish as I could have by taking it slow and concentrating on one section of the car at a time.

If you're concerned about damaging your paint, watch the junkman videos on youtube, he shows you how its damn near impossible to screw up using a DA.

RobsyUK 07 May 2012 04:20 PM

It's all old folk near me.. :( no fitties or mingers for that matter...
