The use of the word ''Detailing''.....

Does anyone else get fcuked right off with people using the phrase 'I detailed my car' only to find when you open the thread that all they've done is wash it and polish it??

Seriously grinds my fcuking gears.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no detailer, but I appreciate the art of detailing. I read every thread in this forum and I can clean a car properly but I don't call myself a detailer because I don't 'detail' a car. ie I don't use tooth picks to clean the dirt from the thread of the tyre valves.

Maybe i'm just getting old and grumpy.

I hate it when people misspell things in the thread title :p

I know what you mean though. Although it is easier to type and read than say "I foamed, rinsed, foamed, washed, rinsed, clayed, polished, sealed, waxed my car today".

Not your best rant Dan but yep it's annoying, almost as bad as 'check out my euro'd clio'.

I agree.

People seem to use it as the new word for "I've cleaned my car".

Rather than, I've spent all f*cking day out in the sun, getting heatstroke, trying to get all the f*cking scratches out of this b*stard car and cleaning all the bits that no f*cker is going to look at anyway.

My favourite 'detailing' thread was when the guy moistened his car with a hose then said he spent all day on it.

Lol. Wasn't it about post #3 before someone pointed out he hadn't cleaned the rear window?

I dont let such petty things bother me, but yes, it does cross my mind briefly when I open a thread on DW and some guys basically SRP'd a car and put some cheapo tyre gel on, and called it a detail, and even set up his own business....

There probably is. Just need ask around. Didn't bother in the winter. My lips always split which makes for bad blow jobs.

That picture is amazing.

Right, i'm off to detail my car with a broom and some fairy liquid.
 
The picture is something to do with Toby being jealous of that guy making it in the detailing world :rasp:

FLOL! That is the most vertical face ive ever seen*, I'd hire him to clean someone else's car whilst I enjoyed laughing at his face.

*edit - apart from beaker from sesame streets/muppets?

I detailed my kitchen earlier... I wiped the surfaces down with a microfibre cloth.

Read my post above...am I the only one who started singing "I'm too sexy for my shirt" in my head???

My trail of thought went "....read said thread..." oh that almost sounds like the band "right said Fred" cue camp song going around in my head.

Especially as willdot was on about sucking men off.

I detailed my arse after a healthy session on the crapper, some would say wiped, but 'detailed' makes me sound much more middle class.

Haha In my eyes a detail is the full works, machine polish etc, that is where the big money is charged. What most people do is give there car a quick wash and polish, and add something that a detailer hates, "swirls".

Gally wants me to clean his tailpipe for him, jealous ? ;)
