Washing you other half’s car...

[Darren S]

Just a thought - how many people on here wash their wifes/girlfriends car at the same time that they wash their own?

I used to do it almost religiously, but increasingly, Im usually just washing my own. I hope this doesnt make me a bad husband?!

Maybe I should pull my bloody finger out and start to do both again.....

Equality. Get the women out there washing yours, but i guarantee that a supermarket monkey crew of washers would do a better job.

 

[ViolentJ]

rarely wash hers with mine. Depends on the weather, my mood and how much she nags.

Its just not the same is it... we take pride in our cars and enjoy wahsing them... couldnt give a toss about anyone elses car lol

 

[badinvincible]

Other half doesnt drive, has its plus points as well as its minuses... But that Mini is proper bo filthy though.

 

[miketheman2k]

She doesnt do mine, I dont do hers - it seems to work quite well.

I have always assisted with cleaning the missus car but dont regularly do it.

Last weekend I cleaned the Clio and spent about an hour polishing it. Then the missus came home so WE cleaner her ZS and polished that as well.

 

[182_blue]

i do them all

 

[Alan]

Yep i do my gfs about once every two weeks in winter then once a week in summer.

 

[Karen]

If I had an other half I wouldnt wash their car - I dont do mine that often!

 

[Clart]

I always do hers when i do mine. Came home last week to find shes washed both hers and mine! RESULT! i have her well trained

 

[Arctic Si]

Normally only do my own. However i get that pi$$ed off seeing her minging mobile parked next to mine i normally end up doing hers about once a month! the insides always worse, women eh, she knows ill do it in the end!

Ive promised Ill wash the other halfs dads car when he goes on hols as he complimented me on my clean car!

My dad wont let me wash his car tho - hes a lazy git, he hasnt even washed it once since getting it in SEPTEMBER!

 

[ViolentJ]

i could do wish washing mine daily. Blue doesnt like road dirt.

[Pete]

Hmmm... let me think, I doubt it considering that would involve actually washing mine as well! lol

You might get that t-shirt wet

 

[® Andy]

Yep ... I wash the missuss car. Is the "cost" of me being allowed to wash mine. However, her car is a Citroen C8 7-seater and hence f-ing massive. Took me 4 hours the other weekend to wash and polish it. Dont show in the same care and attention as mine tho

 

[Iain C]

i do sometimes but its only a ka so i dont take long

 

[Jase16v]

Hours on mine, two mins through the car wash with hers, if i didnt doo it it would never get done. At least she does all the cleaning at home lol (well trained)

Jase

 

[Clare]

I always used to wash both cars, but at the moment we only have the one! Not cleaning that Mini is laziness! It wouldnt take you very long, due to the size of it

 

[Munson]

Am I the only guy here who always washes the arch liners? I mean wash with a crap sponge and shampoo, not just spray with a hose? I hate it when my car is gleaming and the sun shines into the arch and lights up a sh*tty brown liner...

My arch liners are always nice clean black plastic after a wash

Oh and yeah - Id wash her car but she aint getting anywhere near mine!

 

[miketheman2k]

lol ^^^ yes you are!

Mine are still coated with rubber after sundays pod session.

 

[Eskiisbest]

My mrs does a wicked job of washing cars. Her dads a paint technician so its been drilled into her.

Show room shine all the time

 

[Aust1n]

laughing my ass off at this

i have bloody chromes, so it takes me a day to do the bloody wheels alone... so fcuk the girlfriends car. lol.

i clean mine too

 

[Bryan]

cleaning the car is a labour of love, do it yourself and reap the reward, or dont do it at all

im the latter

 

[Munson]

182_blue - great minds think alike

Seriously, the reason I do it is because it really can make that difference between clean, and MINT i.e. good as new

 

[Darren S]

The 182 rims are nice and easy to clean too - the last set of Momo feckers I had were a ball-ache. Definitely a lesson learn there - never get a set of fussy-looking alloys, even if they are the ones you really want!

Ive decided - the Mini will get a jizzing this weekend too! Clare - youre right, it doesnt take that long and the Mini appears more boxy with large panels. Check out the doors and the rear panels - big slabs of metal that take no timer at all to wash.

182_blue & Roy Munson - I was about to call you both sad for cleaning the arches, until I realised that on every wash, I lift the bonnet, the boot and open the doors and make sure all the cills are washed clean!

lol.. ive got to admit i do that too...

 

[Munson]

LOL I always wash the door and boot sills mate...arch liners are so easy to clean IF you do it every wash You have to fire the motor up and turn the wheels though, unless you have the smallest hands ever

 

[Clare]

I occasionally do the arch liners, but theyre usually gross with all the crap in there so I dont bother very often!

 

[Munson]

Ergo do it every wash

 

[Rich]

Each wash without fail, dirty arches, streaky glass and undressed tyres, all let the looks down. Attention to detail so they tell me.

 

[Brazo]

^^got me some autoglym glass polish and rain x tonight for the forthcoming clean this weekend!

 

[Rich]

Nice one - I have my wolfgang and Souveran to try!

 

[jh172]

i do,always looks like a bomb has dropped,hair bobbles and make up everywhere!am i the only one who shakes the mats daily, wife thinks im mad!

 

[daveb11]

glad Im not the only sucker that does their other halfs car. Typical womens psychology though - she knows that if she leaves it long enough and lets it get really minging that I will crack and do it. I did it in the rain today - her alloys were caked and I now have all of HER brake dust under my nails.

Equality - dont you just love it!

 

[Clare]

Heh. Im embarassed by my neighbours cars, they never ever clean them! Or when they do its twice a year through a car wash.

 

[Rich]

My neighbours get me to do theres for them!

 

[R20 CWH]

missus has a cup so pleasure to do both
