I.R. Detailer

[Munson]

Just bought £150 worth of cleaning lotions and alien-skin towels. Jaws' semen. Solid rocket booster resistant wheel sealant. A few other bits. I actually lolled at "detailing swabs". FPMSL. No. I didn't buy those.

Dear god. What have I done? Blame Gally IMO :dead:

 

[richy22]

Oh dear...no more mocking Munson..its a slippery slope

 

[Gally]

<3

I nearly pissed myself when you pm'd about that Clay!

 

[Munson]

Woah easy. Backup. Let us not distort the truth. As you know, there was a valid reason for me needing to clay my heap.

It is good stuff though

[Gally]

Oh yes iirc there was, you are now R Detailer.

How's Roy's Shed? I'm yet to see esploding wheels.

 

[Munson]

It's alright. I may take some pics of the new rims this week.

 

[Gally]

I r hoping you have tyre dressing.

 

[Munson]

Nah I just colour them in with a marker pen.

 

[Ali]

Detailing is for Fags and Eastern European's.

Gally you don't look very Eastern European.

 

[Christopher]

Overspray?

Gally you don't look very Eastern European.

I'm not, i'm of tattie picking decendency.

 

[JD]

I go away for a weekend and this happens...

 

[Revels]

I cleaned my interior yesterday.

 

[Ali]

I'm not, i'm of tattie picking decendency.

Really!!! lol.

When am i expecting a quote princess!

 

[Gally]

I did it this morning mate just getting round to the paint materials! Ahem!

I hope you're sitting down.

 

[Ali]

Oh sh1t....

(Oh and it's carbon black)

 

[Munson]

Overspray?

Nein. Very bad iron contamination.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

^ Sooper dooper brake pads ?

I FLOL'd a lot when I saw detailing swabs for the first time. And again on DW when people take pictures of themselves using them... They're about 75p for 200 in Asda or £5 for 10 on detailing websites (yes yes, I know they're not exactly the same thing...)

 

[JD]

Nein. Very bad iron contamination.

Clay isn't necessary then. Iron X. Spray on, watch the pink appear, wipe off. Done.

 

[Gally]

They aren't the same thing you're right. A cotton bud won't fit the same as the swabs. So sometimes they are required, when someone is paying you £000's to detail their car would you be happy with polish residue in your badges?

 

[Munson]

It was a brake related issue, yeah. Hopefully solved now though.

Well it worked dude. The lube turned orange and the paint turned white.

Absolutley right .. sometimes I'm sure they are required, but my <£3k Clio is never going to be subjected to the luxury of a £000's detailing pampering

If it was my Zonda however, I'd want it washed with unicorn tears and clay made from unobtainium

 

[Munson]

Unobtanium is pretty s**t IMO.

 

[Justin]

Roy, you've just lost 10 cool points!

 

[Munson]

I know. I'm out of this thread TBH. Seeya :race:

 

[Gally]

Gallywinium?

Justin how did you get on at the weekend mate?

 

[Munson]

One thing I have noticed with this detailing malarky, is that the car stays a lot cleaner for a lot longer. s**t just falls off, or never sticks.

Ironically, for someone like me who doesn't like washing cars, it's worth the effort maybe a few times a year.

I.R. Convert.

 

[JD]

Clean it well once and it'll be easier to clean the next time. Whenever that might be.

 

[Munson]

That's what I just said.

I notice it just touching the car. The doorhandles now feel uber slick even when it's dry. Mental.

 

[ForceIndia]

It is an oddly nice feeling. Need to clean le fugly actually. I'll be drying using a narwhale placenta.

 

[Munson]

So basically I admit that I have always been wrong on this subject. I have seen the light. There are genuine benefits to spending time, and the cost of quality products on a car, even to those who hate washing cars! In fact almost especially to those types! I am aware that it's a slippery slope though. Beading just caught my eye on the drive. Someone please kill me

LOL. I will never grow to like the front end of the 200, but I respect it too much as a car to let it influence my thoughts on it. I would own one. White. Anthracite. Born trippy SGR201112 Spec B

 

[Christopher]

Christ. You'll be singing Windows 7's praises next.

...I hope not.

 

[Munson]

I run W7 on my 13" MBP and on my games PC. It's s**t in comparison to OSX in every possible regard. Business, and games, deem it necessary, respectively.

 

[Gally]

You need some Iron x and some Werkstat now you penile.

 

[Craigus]

How did I miss this. Jeez Roy, what the hell?

Does this mean you are going to be a pic ***** now too?

 

[Munson]

Woteva.

Why do I now need IronX and that other thing?

 

[Craigus]

Iron X is the made from 100% donkey bile. It is for your wheel nut threads. Nowhere else.
