I knew i had a project thread in here somewhere...
Well.. stand back, hope your sitting down. I CLEANED MY OWN CAR!!!!
hock: :o
and when i say cleaned... i mean 2 bucket method, rinse (your couch ed) then i clayed it and SRP'd it. Much thanks to scott for letting me use your clay buddy
So after being supervised on the above methods and me finishing SRP'ing my car. I was promptly told that unless you wax it after SRP'ing the first hint of rain washes off the SRP... Well we ran out of time that evening and we needed food, so it was left as a morning job... well, it fecking rained didnt it. So i drive to scotts in the morning and SRP my car again.. myself.
It threatened to rain again but we waited a little bit and then i waxed the car. Now, scott really wanted to get started on his car, so he showed me how to wax the car and left me to it... foolish mistake. Pretty much what 5-6 cars worth of wax i used just on my car? Apparently (shock horror) too much power was used and i'd used a feck load of wax all over the car. Shiney shiney, but scott wasnt best pleased. So thanks for putting up with me using all your wax
Either way, sooooooooo shiney, was really nice to get it done myself. I dont think i've done an amazing job as its was mostly my first time, i think moving forward i'll be a little slower and make sure i get every nook and cranny.
