Car wash

[MrGadget]

Hi, just curious as to where you go to wash your car. I haven't washed the GTI yet but I take my Subaru Liberty to a local Magic Hand Carwash and they do a pretty good job, at least I haven't seen any scratches added by using them.

I have never used one of those self serve wash places but am thinking that would be better. However I would only go there to use their water and I would bring my own washing detergents, chamois, car mitts etc. Do these places get annoyed if you do this?

Thanks.

I brought my own car wash fluids to a Car Savers and only used their water. The guy told me off about it and said using my own chamois and/or cloths are fine, but we can't use buckets of soap + water to wash

I wash my own. The (almost) 16 year old daughter helped out and we had it washed, dried and waxed in about an hour.

I suspect she will use this against me when she wants to drive it.

It's very bad timing to buy a new car the month before the 16 year old gets her L plates

Naah, you've finally got some real leverage (I believe that is a rare commodity with teenagers these days)

You're are right of course.

I really must learn to take more control.

That said, the appointment to get the L's is scheduled for next week.

Here's how I do it. Enjoy.

Except you used Turtle Wax gear. Gawd I hope that was sponsored. Edit: Just reached the end, and realise it was. I do like the series and hope you are getting well rewarded!

We had another sponsor of the products that we 'usually' use that pulled out a day before the shoot. (Well when I say pulled out I mean we told them we were not going to work with them because they were making ridiculous demands - like bringing their lawyers to our shoot)

Great product : People were idiots.

We got in touch with Turtle Wax who had seen the show and within 2 hours we had 3 couriers arriving at Mighty Mods HQ with everything they could get together for us in the time. They're a really great bunch of guys.

It is more a 'mainstream' product but for most applications is really good.
