clean room

cvennall · 19-05-2008, 21:18

Came back fom Glentress on Friday evening with bugs committing suicide on the front of the car, so when I got home I thought it was time to wash the car. Did that and noticed that the paint was covered in tar spots again. Then decided to spend Saturday cleaning the tar off and giving the car a thorough clean. Results shown below.

Question? Does car cleaning become a little obsessive when you find yourself POLISHING the door shuts?

Tidy

I've done 20 hours on mine over the weekend and it's still not done!

I don't have 20 hours to spare at any time to clean a car!

VRS wheels....

Was wondering what it would look like. Must stick my summer boots on this weekend

I was bored... and fed up with the Poles at my dealer cleaning it with something that appears to have removed all the wax

I like the vrs wheels better than the standard alloys - the car looks 'tougher' somehow. They won't last long though - the originals will go back on when I get the furby back on the road later in the year. Just got to wait for No. 1 son to go to university!

No but it does when you start taking the wheels off to clean the backs so you see Silver instead of brake dust when you look through them

Haha I don`t know, but I also can spend a whole day polishing my Roomie

. One of the most annoying things for me is a dirty car.

P.S. Those vRS rims really looks pretty good.

The VRS wheels suit the Roomster

I cleaned my wheels last year when rotating.
I only spend a few hours on mine a quick wash and wax.
I only really clean the door shuts and seals every few months.
