Wash & Wax Time . . . . . . But Which One And How?

[Grim Reaper]

I use a lot of Bilt Hamber stuff (Korrosol/Auto Wash/Auto Wheel/Double Speed Wax/Auto Balm/Surfex/Dynax/Auto Foam/Auto Clay)
To save money, wash and scrub the wheels to get the bulk of the dirt off first, then go over with a spray of Auto Wheel and let it do its stuff, then rinse off. I usually do the Auto Wheel last thing in a wash routine.

Buy in bulk direct from Bilt Hamber, free shipping if you spend over £60.

I find it best to do the wheels first. That way the wheels and arches get a proper clean, rather than a fcuk it, that'll do at the end.

I’m “wheels and arches first” too.

So true, never thought of it that way

Nope! The killer is when you’ve done your van and SWMBO ambles past with a throwaway “Can you do my car too?” That’s when you have the Dirty Harry “Do I feel lucky?” dilemma!!!

But the SWMBO car never gets the same amount of tlc though

Make it vaguely clean, that’ll do!

I wish my wife cared enough to ask!! Her car would be a skip on wheels if I left it to her!

 

[dubber36]

I like to clean my wife's cars. It gives me an excuse to be out of the house.

Abandoned snow foam and just went with the real thing

I always start washing my van when her in drawers has gone out.
Trouble is she sometimes returns before I've finished.
She always asks me why it only takes me about 15 minutes to wash her car, but about 3 hours to do the van. I just tell her it's because the van is bigger than her car.

How is everyone washing their drying cloths and polish pads ?

 

[Chippie1]

On low temp do the wife tells me lol and let dry naturally
