Who else finds the wash ritual therapeutic?

[Chrisfraser05]

God I missed doing a proper wash and wax job.

Was pointless on my touran for the last 3 years after she took it through a roller car wash and swirled all the paint.

It's good to be back baby

 

[Tellmewhatsnew]

I still haven't worked out the best way to do the roof despite steps and long handles wash brushes so not finding that bit enjoyable

I hear ya.

I was in my element today.

With the kids and work plus the general state of her car I never got the satisfaction I used to get doing my cars.
Today I just felt in my happy place again for the first time in years lol

Used to spend many hours on this, it was immaculate

Love Oryx, so hard to see just how good it actually is on camera.

I also liked that tune with the flute ha

My roofs not been washed once yet lol

 

[Chrisfraser05]

Sun came out this morning and I really got to see it properly for the first time. Looked incredible.

That's "hilltop hoods" playing, the track is "nosebleed section".
They've got a few really good albums

I haven't enjoyed washing cars for years not since my teen years when I used to wash n polish my cosworth on Friday after work, I feel like a new man think I've had my t6 for 2ish weeks and I've prob washed it 4 times hahaha love this motor prob my fav I've owned to date I'm looking forward to many years with her!

 

[Lawce]

The one thing I don't like about doing it is you notice more stone chips every time you do it

 

[Chrisfraser05]

Agreed..That's why I'm getting a clear self healing film on my bonnet at the same time the lower half gets wrapped

I haven’t cleaned my cars myself for years - I started out with best intentions when I first got the van and cleaned it myself at least once a fortnight but soon remembered that the reason I hadn’t cleaned cars for years was that I hate cleaning cars and found out cleaning vans is worse.

So, I’m now back to paying someone else to clean it and, after my AdBlue experience today, might see if there is anyway to speed up AdBlue consumption such that I can get a refill every couple of weeks and the complimentary wash and vacuum that came with it

That’s why one of the reasons why I’m going over to Petrol

?? My AdBlue experience was a positive one and included a complimentary wash, hence (jokingly) wishing I could top it up more often (the £13 I paid to get the AdBlue topped up is less than I pay to get the van cleaned)

Lol ^^^^^^^^^

 

[superflyguy]

I hate it, but unfortunately it has to be done

 

[Chrisfraser05]

I'll never let the garage wash any of my vehicles.

Leave bloody swirl marks all over it using brushes and sponges

Im in the same boat, i really hate it.

Thats why i got the paint corrected and then ceramic coated

Easy to keep clean, no need to wax and its damm glossy

Think I struck lucky as they told me it was the showroom guy that did it rather than the service guy. Either way, I'm pleased with it.

Got to say though, I do love to see shiny paint work and am rather envious of the finish on some of your vans but, for me, its just not worth the effort.

Is it a big thumbs up for the posh ceramic coats?, I've been thinking about it for the last year

Only just looked in, I hadn’t worded it well, what I had meant was why I was going over to Petrol was to get away from the problems of having to carry another additive & additional cost/ possible problem with AdBlue system.
Nothing to do with washing a van/car
