[kwak zzr]

all that hasstle on vauxhall paint lol.

[DarrenSV650S]

That'll be my monthly bandwidth used up then

[Thingus]

Sorry if anyone sympathises with him or knows him but only one word comes to mind and that's 'tw@'.

If you can spend 40 grand on a pair of wheel cleaning 'drumsticks' then what are you doing buying an over-powered front wheel drive low paid rep car?

[RichT]

OCD???

[krhall]

.....and here is a special edition cleaning wax worth £10k - WTF, it's a white astra mate!!!

Wouldn't mind him doing my bike though, I'd give him £15 if he did a good job.

Kwak - I didn't see it all, did he use Autosol anywhere?

[Balky001]

not that he is over serious or anything but if he scratched it reversing out of the garage do you think he would explode or implode?

[Jester666]

After all that it's still only an overpriced Vauxhall with fake carbon bits on it! :rolleyes:

What a ****!!

[Sideshow#36]

I used to have one of them... I miss it so much.

Thank you once again you thieving scumbag who nicked it!!!!!

[anna]

do you think he could come and clean my bike???

[Filipe M.]

*cough*

[Jinxy43]

I wonder if he has time to enjoy the good things in life, like booze, birds,

Oh NO I forgot he spends all his time polishing his cage, what a tube,

Just means more for me.

[yorkie_chris]

Seen it before, yet another example of someone trying to polish a turd.

[tigersaw]

I kinda lost the will to live part way through looking at all that.

[thor]

I've heard of detailing, but that is lame.

Imagine what would go through his mind when driving towards a puddle!

There is an amusing thread here of an alternative detailing method:

i admire, no, i understand people have passions for things beit cars, bikes, wine, football...whatever floats your boat, but jebus. thats taking it too far isn't it? measuring the depth of the paint? i got as far as day 2 then gave up thru boredom more than anything.

was it his car? does he have to go thru this cleaning charade everytime it goes out? i have to admit i didnt read the start of the blog, whats the purpose?

does he have the sechs with the car at nite?

[Ch00]

I am going to find him and throw mud at his car and then watch him go mad or cry !!!

[Ch00]

All that money spent on a tarted up Astra. He should have bought a real car.

[Alpinestarhero]

My worry is that sure, he keeps it clean, but what about the grease and other lubricatants he washes away when he jet-washes under the wheels arches?

Thats if vauxhall bothered to use any grease in the first place (my dad is always moaning about the lack of greased parts on cars....they never come off easily, he;s always bashing off shocks and stuff with a hammer...)

[Magnum]

What was his reason for cleaning the car like that? Unless he was going to load it into the back of a truck and take it to a vauxhall exhibition then there is no point.
How much would that cost him?! The foam he probably had to hire, the 50 litres of "roe?" water he used, and the hours and hours of work... As soon as he drives off his immaculate finish will be ruined.

[kwak zzr]

that astra VXR was cleanish but it wasn't KWAK CLEEEEEEEENN!!!!!!!!!!!!

or a bike;)




wot a c0ck

[Viney]

My step dad was obbsessed with cleaning his car, to the point he would leather it before he drove it anywhere, polished it once a week, would avoid puddles, etc etc.

I used to keep my car clean, and the bike for that matter, but not to the extremes they do on that site.

[shonadoll]

Oh my god. Anal or what.

[keithd]

christ! really? i never got that far!!:eek:

gave up after day one

[captainsmelly]

I want to be his friend. He sounds like such a fun chap.

I once met an old boy who polished is Jag X-type so much that he went through the paint in several places. The car was less then two months old. He was also an OCD afflicted CO(K.

That's why you should use a wax, not an abrasive polish. ;):batman:

[Sosha]

Obviously single.

Didn't make it the end of day1 - and couldn't stop thinking "Stone chip"

[shonadoll]

Jesus. 51 layers of wax. I'm really annoyed, can't stop looking. It's wrong...

[Balky001]

that made me chuckle. Very true too

I ended up reading the whole thing too, even though it was so sad.

But I think I'll keep to a bucket and sponge once in a while method.

I've been back twice to look. I need help. I mean, I'm not going to DO it, but I can't stop looking.:D

[rob13]

So did he say how much the full job cost? I got to the end of the first page, gave up the will to live as the 512mb ram was struggling to process it all.

[Tim in Belgium]

No, there was no mention of cost although he reckoned a lot of the outside work was done for very little, mates rates/he'd detial their car/advertise their business at shows.

Edit: the golf guy http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=102949.0 also didn't give a price, but I think most of his costs were in drying the car and fag breaks.
