Craigieboy Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Just wondering how you guys clean your cars? I've had this stuff on the shelf for years, I got the concept, but just never got on with it in practice. Just didn't feel right not soaking your car with loads of water, but I've got to say it's been absolutely brilliant on the Westfield. Can wash the car in the garage which is a bonus, no hoses to bother about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvd8n Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I just rinse mine off with a brush on the end of a hose. I reckon that it'll soon be dirty again anyway... D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Wouldn't trust myself with a hose, the carpets are still drying from the soaking they got from the coolant 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I use the hose on low pressure and just washing up liquid. The cheapest of cheap from Aldi. Dried with microfiber cloths and polished with Demon Shine. Always looks fine to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep some in a spray bottle mixed 16:1 for bird poo soaking and removal on my tin-tops with a super soft microfibre cloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need all my cash for upgrades... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly it’s about not having to worry about them getting wet or mouldy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon.white Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I quite like the ritual of washing my Westy - two bucket method, autoglym shampoo then two coats of meguiars paste wax, the autoglym vinyl product on all the seats and trim and whatever horrible chemical is closest for the wheels. I tend to find that as long as the wax holds, little blemishes and bug splatter just wife off with a damp cloth. To be honest, it's a lot of faff but I quite enjoy it and it keeps me out of trouble for a couple of hours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat a good run, I'm actually just in the door been out since 5, but on the days I'm not out driving I enjoy looking after my cars. Means I get more out of the cars and as you say keeps me out of trouble too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
