Detailing OCD

[Gary-Lew]

Who else ?


I've always enjoyed cleaning cars over the years but this forum and DW has f**ked me up in the head, i cant walk past a car shop without going in for a nose and coming out with some sort of car cleaning kit. I was happy with SRP and lint free cloths back in the day.

Todays buys are

Twin 500 watt 240v site lights £14 in screwfix 30% off at the moment
2 autoglym pads
rimwax

To go with my growing collection

[pagey6005]

[guysy]

Yep, Ive got it. Got a little arsenal. Trying not to spend too much on it though as i realised that i dont need it all and can out the money to better use.

Still love my car clean and fresh though !

 

[edryn80]

LOL

Had my car 5 months... Never been washed/cleaned.

 

[Ady182]

I got more than that in my garage lol Bring on the warmer weather so I can pamper

 

[Robclio98]

fancy sharing wish i had enough money to buy tons of cleaning stuff.

 

[daydotz]

im getting that way

 

[jack_davey]

Jesus! I thought I was bad! but I think you're just showing off! lol!

 

[caister]

Yeah I have a similar ammount of stuff its quite worrying really.

I have what I like to call car park OCD as well where I have to park in the far remote corner with the hope that nobody is going to park next to me and give me a few door dents! I will only use the spaces at uni that are set out so nobody can park next to me!

I might be interested m8, and if Im down the road from you then even better!

PM me if you want to take it further

Love cleaning my car, clean inferno beats all other colours tbh.

But at the moment I fail to see the point. I drive to work in the dark, I drive home in the dark, it's always wet, it's too cold to wash it, and every time it goes out, it gets filthy.

Will be giving it a massive spring clean to get all the winter crap off once the weather and light picks up

 

[Gaz_]

....oooooh them draw thing are what i'm after, where they from?

 

[alex-avfc]

Definetely understand you on this one mate!

Ive been into it since before I had a car, getting the autoglym out on parents cars!

Btw nice collection there and good purchase on the Rimwax, Ive got that stuff myself think it brings up the wheels nicely and leaves good protection (as well as smelling damn good, notice how many expensiv products smell nice:S)

And Rich.. definetely go for a clear out.. let me know!

 

[BREMBO]

Remember I used to wash my Mum/Dads car with a dish sponge and the interior with mr sheen lol

How things have changed...cupboard full now and the amount of microfibres I have

Do enjoy it though

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I must admit, I bought an autoglym kit the other week, and im getting pretty hooked too! Santas bringing some more toys soon too!

 

[dajones]

ive got a draw in my pc desk full of stuff its the only place it can be put lol tyre gel, wax, shampoo and polish few microfibres and thats me

 

[BioHzrd]

I need to get me one of those drawrs !! my two 50lt boxes are getting a bit crampt !

 

[Alastair.]

my garage is full of valet products, half the s**t i dont even use, just got my g220 through the other day though

 

[Gary-Lew]

[mattjk]

[BioHzrd]

[Ali]
