am i a real saddo?

[1835harri]

I washed my leon at the weekend, and spend a long time trying to make it look good by getting all them damn bugs from the front grill.

Onced washed I DRY MY CAR WITH A SPECIAL TOWEL to save the car getting streaky when the water dries...

When i got back in my wife called me a saddo and said im probably the only person ever to dry my car like a baby.

Please say im not the only one. haha

You're not alone mate, although I use an 'old fashioned' chamois leather but that's probably down to my age!
I always get stick from the missus when I spend a couple of hours washing my car, but this weekend she outdid herself by insisting I let our 2 and a half year old daughter help me!
Needless to say I spent more time fending her off with her sand encrusted hands, stopping her scrubbing the drive with a brush or eating the bubbles than cleaning the bloody car!
Luckily she poo'd herself and had to go in and have a bath, bless her.

i assume your wife takes time applying make up, spending money on 'better' lip stick or eye liner.. not to mention 'special' shampoo that contains secret ingredients from the amazon rain forest!

and if you dont notice all this effort...

Cleaning your car is like making love to a beautiful woman. Then the person next to you sh*ts themselves.

 

[NickT]

Yeah, would kind of put you off your stroke wouldn't it?

 

[stuart86]

i let the bosnians do it.

 

[Number86]

Crap themselves or wash your car. I hear they're capable of both if that floats your boat.

 

[1835harri]

hahah the bosnians...

How can people let those "car washers" in tescos car park wash their pride and joy. it makes me cringe...

i have to fend them off with a stick

The ones in Asda do a pretty good job.

if im doing a quick wash use a chamois, if im taking more time over it i use a drying towel and have my BIG box of things out with me

 

[1835harri]

urrr nooo. not a chance letting anyone do it other than me.. not even the car wash.. worst invention ever.

 

[stuart86]

I've got a waffle weave towel thingy that I use... I just think my girlfriend's just happy to have the TV remote for a while

 

[lard44]

Just washed mine yesterday, dried off with a waffle weave towel - then waxed, then sealed the wheels etc. etc.

Trust me you're not sad mate.

your brave... same bucket for 20 cars...

 

[NickT]

I can but dream of waxing and sealing the wheels, reckon I'd be out for about 4 hours doing that, by which time she'd have changed the locks on me!
