Detailing - With no garage.



The Boosh!

Reet, me again.

About to start the car in prep for trax.

Was wandering, if i did all the prep work today, left it overnight and polished/sealed tomorrow, will i screw something up?

Was going to wash, clay, remove all bonded on s**te then just leave it, drive over to the GFS tomorrow, give it another wash/snowfoam then crack on from where i left off (she has a garage that i can do the polishing in but wont have time today)...

No worries, yeh?

Awesome... Couldn't have seen there being a problem as long as its properly washed tomorrow but thought i would checked... Never broken a detail down into two bits before iv just got it done but its not feasable in this time scale (left it way too late!)

:)
 
Not ideal Luke, but not going to be much harm I guess. So long as you properly wash her down again.

If the weather is s**t between now and the time we're meeting at Donny Park then I'll be rolling dirty down to the hotel and try and find somewhere that I can give it a once over down there. If the weather stays pisch then the car will be filthy for the show too. :(

I just washed mine for our meet on Sunday, dried with the big i4D towel + Megs Last Touch :)
The heavens opened as I unscrewed the top off the Blue Velvet - it really is that good! lol

Probably the same here but im still going to give it a go lol. If I fail all i will need to do is wax her up with me claying today but id really like to get it done.

Did the clay come???
IT did indeed! Even got a sweet with my order lol! Not tested it out yet though. Going to do Matt a thread later on:approve:

Right boys and girls, another question!!!

Iv just finished snowfoaming and about to wash it and its raining. Now, If i washed it and clayed it (its only gonna get wet anyway with the claying is it not?) will i still be ok? Im going to drive over to my GF's once iv prepped it so it can stay in her garage over night!....

Im also abit dubious about driving it too:dead: FFS I wish we didn't live in such a s**t house. I need a garage!
 
I clay with my car wet anyway mate, find it safer on the paint :)

Wash it and dry it after so you don't get too many water marks.

about to start claying and the sun has come out... Result!

Jamie, once the car is at my gfs and i start machining it tomorrow, what you reckon i should do? Just wash the f**k out of it about 5 times before?
 
Is that aimed at me??? :(

fcuker :( ;)

Course it was ;) x

Score, as long as she's not in direct sunlight ;)

Yeah, just give her a decent going over, arches, wheels etc. Last thing you want is for any dirt to be hiding that the machine or pad can pic up :S

Right, claying and prep done... Can now see the swirls for all their glory :( :(!

Im impressed with the lack of tar on the car though, clay will easily be able to be reused.

Lets hope it goes my way tomorrow and i dont screw up in some way.

sorry to go off topic. but people would only get annoyed if i made another thread.

quick question!

With snowfoam. Do you NEED to get the attachment for a power washer for it to work (spray gun thing)? or is it just a matter of throwing a bucket of it over the car???

Want to give it a try just dont fancy spending £40 on the gun.

Considering it, not really a fan of Deadmau5 though and truth be told I've never yet had a good night out round Manc, even after living there for nearly 10 years lol. :(

Thought you'd be at Trax TBH *hint*.

Would you use a foam gun attachment? :S

I was only joking!!! I guess you could use a foam gun attachment, wouldn't really work as well?

Yes mate, will sort out with the banned one tonight or tomorrow about what time I'm collecting him, no doubt we will be late to Donny Park though...I've never seen n0rm be on time yet lol. He's a mong getting perma banned, but it should make Trax a bit more entertaining ROFL, I predict a riot...

I've just gone out, as the sun came out, with the intention of cleaning mine out inside and give it a quick wash down and a layer of sealant. Cleaned the inside of the windows and just as I got the vac out...it f**king chucked it done lol. Packed away and come back in...now the sun is out again! :mad:

I can't wait to see your pikie ride for the way down then! lol I've not had a problem with flies since getting a few layers of sealant and wax down. Just rinse right off now.

Lol! For what this time???

He said something naughty from what he told me...PMSL
