#1: Am i mad or wise?! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 4:30 pm ---- It was pretty sunny today and as most of you know, not a good day for polishing or waxing a car! So I waited until the sun went down and starting using autoglym HD wax for the whole car and just finished after 10! Lol thought it was a good idea because it wasn't in direct sunlight but some people my think I am mad! lol

#4: Re: Am i mad or wise?! Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Mon May 02, 2011 4:35 pm ---- I've washed my car in the rain before. Got some funny looks
Then took it into the garage to dry it.

#7: Re: Am i mad or wise?! Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Mon May 02, 2011 6:10 pm ---- Yep. Same here done it with Meguiars NXT 2 synthetic wax at 9pm.
Absolute nightmare as the dew came down on it and it just would not polish-up.
I had to give-up and wait until mid-day next morning (with sun?!) and then it came
out beautifully. Go figure.

#13: Re: Am i mad or wise?! Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Tue May 03, 2011 1:33 am ---- I'm guilty of washing my car in the snow... & rinsing it with the snow because the hose pipe was frozen. LOL!
#14: Re: Am i mad or wise?! Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 1:41 am ---- if ever im going out for the day (like yesterday me and the mrs went to beach), I wake up about 1hr early and give the car a good clean and windows and detail spray before we set off.
Also last year for FCS I left at 5am, but woke up at 3am to clean it. Then cleaned it again once at FCS. The milkman was abit shocked, as he comes round at about half 4 =-]
Had my 206GTI since 13th April, and have cleaned it every single day so far. Except for Sunday just gone, I cleaned it twice.
NEVER drive a dirty car! It's pathetic.

Am I the only one who thinks he's cleaning it a little bit too much? :\

Haha, well, I only wet wash it every 3/4days - everyday inbetween i use the autoglym detail spray and autglym fast glass.
Works magic and car is always reflection perfect. I can't (yes, can't) drive a dirty car, my area is always dusty (close to powerstation) and it pi55es me off having dust and insects on the paintwork.
I'm like a magpie, if it ain't shiny then I ain't interested!
#18: Re: Am i mad or wise?! Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Tue May 03, 2011 3:56 am ---- Winter mine is filthy, and well lately she is too
As she is going in for a full respray i dont see the point
FCS was the best, i eventually went to bed at 3am after cleaning from about 10am
Got up at 8am to finish cleaning and leave for 12 on the saturday
Cleaned at hotel, then cleaned at show

Not too much just pointless, If you detail it well and use a decent sealent and wax you should only need to use a quick detailer every couple of days and wash/snow foam and dry once a week would be fine.
#20: Re: Am i mad or wise?! Author: Hotchy, Location: GlenrothesPosted: Tue May 03, 2011 8:03 am ---- My 206 is cleaned every tuesday (day off) unless its winter, a good winter detail before hand and more like every 3 weeks. It never looks dirty getting cleaned once a week, you must drive in fields if it needs cleaned every day
