Clean car for shows...

[Soph]

What do you lot do about having to drive your car down to a show after giving it a good clean, as it's going to get mucky again?

Is there anything you take down with you to clean the car with?

 

[powey]

I seen a car with cling film over the front before

3M tape seems to be the style at the minute though

 

[Fred@BTM]

don't worry about it?

dirty cars at shows FTW!

Seen that with the front all taped up, it looks stupid though. Doesn't stop crap spraying up the back neither.

if u polish it up and wax it etc. before. a quick wash or some quick detailing spray will bring it up a treat

I think if i was to go down and there was no water. Id totally soak every panel in a spray wax and buff away ! but f**k me.. i wouldnt want to do that very often !

just wrap it up in clingfilm

[Keano]

Well cling film and heat aren't exactly the best of friends are they.

Mine was dirty as last year at FCS I wasnt happy as I detailed for about 4 hours previous day. I hear if you stay over most people wash them before the show but if your driving down on the day just do a good detail the day before and take some detailing spray with you. Fingers crossed it doesnt rain.

 

[powey]

if your that worried about it getting dirty you could always use a trailer and a car cover

As the young lady said, I will spend most of the day before cleaning it. Then as long as its not raining, i will give a blast with a detailling spray when i get there (getting there early doors so she sparkles).

Depends on the person, I might even wash my car for fcs :rasp:

It's more the fact we'll rock up covered in loads of bugs after having spent ages cleaning it, and there'll be other people with immaculately clean cars. Maybe I'll drive down in a clear car cover, just for you.

 

[Keano]

put some selotape on your bumper

 

[m4rkie23]

detailing spray. and a microfibre.

 

[Sam]

Get a car cover.

Cut the windscreen out. Hole in the back windscreen and somewhere to get in.

 

[Ali]

I take a bag with minor detailing stuff. Shampoo, tyre stuff, plastic dressing, glass cleaner, QD, plenty of clothes. Swissvax bucket FTW!

 

[Naith]

pretty much the same as nose but with more poverty spec items

 

[Ali]

Cheeky c-unit!

 

[Naith]

Cheeky c-unit!

i can only say it as mines like a dorito x

 

[Ali]

Fit!

Give the car the full works the day before, wax it up to the brim. Clingfilm if you like Then use ONR (optical no rinse) It needs only around two gallons of water & its very good stuff. I will be using it for silverstone

Theres a good write up on detailing world how to use it corectly

 

[Ali]

Don't fancy that much ^ tbh!

 

[VIICarCare]

why? its safer than qd!

 

[JD]

FCS 07 Rich used a no water car wash system . . . think he hated it!!

I would be out with the blue tape and as much QD as possible for the dust lol. But mine is a blue car, so doesn't look as bad!!

 

[Ali]

Just don't fancy it! Hotel, Buckets. Wash, dry! BINGO BANGO!

 

[JD]

Sounds good. If you can fine some water

 

[Ali]

Our hotel had a tap youth!

This is the way forward! Even for washes in the week.

This loks quite good, and good write ups.

Might be ideal for FCS.

Now you see, these are getting better and better. I have been keeping a close eye on the products each time they come up on DW. The waterless washes are pisch tbh. But these are quite good. Not that cheap however!!

This is better than reaching for the jet wash + snow foam etc during the week imo. Alot less time consuming and work.

Definitely perfect for shows

 

[JD]

Liam! The amusement of snow foaming should be enough to get the karcher out weekly

Perfect for FCS or any car show, just dilute in a garden sprayer and away you go.

Finish off with their instant detailer and gloss enhancer.
