Detailing Routine

[stoic]

Do love the Auto Glym snow foam...

Damn this foam turns it into a f04rd! ..did they mention the side effects on the label?

 

[Cuffy]

I'm now off to detail myself in the shower ......

I usually find one leg on the side of the bath and a strategically placed mirror helps cover them hard to spot areas.

When did the phrase 'washing the car' change to 'detailing'....? I can only guess when we stopped using rough dog eared sponges, a splash of Fairy Liquid in an old crusty builders bucket was the turning point? But still, it still grates with the over use of 'detailing' when all is being done to the vehicle is a dousing of snow foam with a fancy wash mitt and dry down with a towel better than in my bathroom.

I'll get my coat......or should I say my 'inclement weather heat retainer'?

An excellent rant on pretentious over-complicated language. I blame the Septics for this general trend…

Don't forget your soft bristle detailing brush, great for getting right into those crevices...

Probably around the same time people started using,

From the get go.
Swapping out.
Rotors and tires.

That would be over-complicatization to be 100% accurate.
Just be glad the Atlantic Ocean is huge, I am.

Shhhhh, we don't talk about it Chris.

If we don't talk about it and ignore it it'll just go away, surely?

and in any case it is not a ford, it is a "badge engineered" vw transporter! (to stick with the new age lingo). Where badge engineering means literally none, no type of engineering involved.

You mean it identifies as a vw?

Buy a silver one and wash twice a year After years of owning cars I now realise that silver is the best colour. Boring, but so much easier to live with
