wash

i've never clayed a car before and wasn't confident enough to try it for the first time on the Trophy. also i wanted the paintwork correcting - especially on the bonnet. so i decided to get it done professionally. after looking around on the web i selected Gary Funnell from the aptly named...

I went on the hunt yesterday to buy a new 'stop-gap' car... one to get me around the country looking at potential Trophy replacement candidates so I can avoid taking the train everywhere! As luck would have it, I found the perfect car (relatively speaking...). I might muster up the courage to...

Just to alert everyone's attention to this further than has been done already.. Did my oil change this eve and when I went to lift the bonnet, having pulled the release inside the car, I didn't have to pull the catch at all - it hadn't engaged.. Quite worrying considering it's under a year...

YH55 *** (in need of a clean :P ) Spotted you driving through the town centre about 1o clock (ish) Aftermarket exhaust aswell I think.

...after 2 weeks of owning my car its stopped rainning :lol: Just got back from work, sun is out and my clio is absolutely filthy - actually so bad it looks quite good :? However, gona give it a good jet wash and polish today so that its looking spick and span ready for its trip to the...

Wanna get no.31 on the RR sometime to check whats actually coming outta the wheels. Thought the Trophy would be a bit nippier but it could just be the way im driving it coming from driving a diesel for the last 3 years! Got a Orbisound and IK so expecting 190 at the wheels? Or am I in dream land?

Ok, this may sound a bit random or stupid. But how does everyone dry their cars after a wash and what products do they use to do it. I have my car permagarded and want something to get her nice a dry after a rinse. I have never been a big fan of the shammy leather but maybe its cos i bought...

I have recently had my fleet of cars permagarded (full works inside and out, including glass treatment which i am delighted with!) but i one small issue/question to ask " what screen wash to use?" the blokes at peramard have said use a decent alcohol based sceen wash but i was simply...

.......so wheres the best place to buy the 'proper' intermittant stalk? i've checked ebay but no luck so far and i remember people where paying around £20 from some place. any ideas? cheers. BTW - I've just hit the 10k mark!

But not in a good way. :( Twice this week I've walked out to the car after work to find it CAKED in bird sh1t, like they've been using it for target practice or something. :evil: It's only started happening since we've all been forced to park at the (usually empty) other end of the car...
