......thinking of getting my hoover mapped to increase suction .

Are you going to moan about it when the hoover keeps breaking down?

Because of the extra suction.

.........same as post 2 for me.

Very funny guys, do you have your own WhatsApp group dedicated to cleaning cloths as well lol.

Interesting comment from Sawda saying he washes his car every 4-6 weeks because it causes less swirls. I have read over cleaning can wear the paint surface out quicker but not sure if that’s fact or hearsay.

Does everyone wash by hand on here or do any of you go to a local hand wash. We have a Polish ran hand wash place near us which although not up to show standard do a pretty good job.

Never hand car wash, only detailed. My wife picked up a brand new m140i a few weeks back and I asked the dealership not to clean it. Anyway its her car and she wanted to pick it up clean and not in wrapping paper so I reluctantly agreed. After one dealership wash it was swirl city, detailer sorted it out but was a great proof that the hard work isnt for nothing and if you value your paintwork then one wash is enough to do big damage. Pic below.

It amazes me too the amout if people who think The dealership will do a better wash than the loacl car wash, its the same thing if not worse.

I have also paid for a full front self healing PPF which is great as no more stone chips or swirls, expensive but good.

I dont drive my car as much as I like to anymore so very much a weekend car. Would love a garage but that will have to wait, been using a high quality outdoor car cover and has saved me alot of work on the cleaning front. I like a clean car but I hate the cleaning itself, too time consuming

I started washing my own cars a few years back someone pointed out to me the swirl marks on my paint work. Started to get in to the detailling side of it last year, complete game changer. The downside to this is that it requires time and patience so will not be everyone’s cup of tea but when your car is fully polished and coated be wax or a ceramic sealant, not only will it never look so good maintenance washing is a lot quicker and easier to complete.

Hi sawda, I looked at the picture but wasn't sure what I was looking at?

 

It looked like something clear that was much better after the work, but I think I am missing the plot here, blind or both.

It’s just a 50/50 (before and after) correction

[Oldmanracing]

confession time.....

I haven't washed my car for over 3 months and during the worst time of year with all the filth on the road, now it's not that I didn't want too, as I properly over clean my car, it gets attention at leat weekly.......

I do have a good excuse as I have slipped a disk, and been bed/sofa ridden for 8 weeks and doing anything recently let alone car washing has been difficult to say the least, Op pending I should be fixed soon!

And...... as I have learnt from my own experience I NEVER let anyone else clean your pride and joy (unless they are a detailer )
The temptation to get it at clean has been huge but I have held off, hopefully I will be able to spend some time giving my car the treatment it deserves but currently it's very grimey, looks neglected and well used.
It's the longest it's not be cleaned.......
Will post some pics before me (or a detailer) clean it, am sure will make a good before and after project......


Anyone else have a filthy mistress that needs a good detail?

Mines booked in for a full correction detail in a weeks time, can't wait as the swirls have been doing my tree in!

[JamesBaby]

 had mine corrected back in July and it came out lush but now I want to maintain it myself. 

 

I stopped taking it to Itchy and Scratchy on the road side, and wont let dealers wash it.

 

My new DA Polisher has arrived this week and I will be polishing it and putting some GTechnique CSL and Exo on it. Wish me luck.
