The hose, bucket and sponge are coming out this weekend, never has a car been more in need of a wash

Even though it's been raining here Ive washed my Bella today, just a once over to get the salt/grit off her. The weather is supposed to be sunny on Sunday, if so she'll get the full treatment then.

Im hoping Saturday will be ok to wash mine, hes in need of a really good wash! He looks all glum when hes dirty

Yep, I'm hoping to get the bucket and sponge out this weekend, Sofia is filthy. Last washed two weeks before Christmas!
Strangely enough, since Christmas I've had 3 or 4 comments on how amazingly clean she is considering the weather. Think it must be down to colour shining through the dirt, thanks to the detail I had last year, so if you don't look closely, it does look very clean. When in a car park, it really stands out - everything else just looks grey.

I think I'll pay a visit to the local albanians on Monday lunchtime.

Is it too early to make a joke about keeping an eye on it while it's being washed?

Not exactly detailed but the first wash in about 2 months. This is also a chance to show of my newly powdercoated wheels and the before and after pics of the wheel arch I damaged. The whole front end has been sprayed from the windscreen forward. Still needs a polish though.
Wheels done and damaged wing....

All sorted now...

Wheels aren't too different, just more shiny and no bubbles/chips. They didn't have any curbing before, just looked dull.

Now the last time I got into a conversation on here about washing ones wheels................I got slagged off for only using ONE bucket...........I'm afraid the albanians will have my first wash vote :lol:

 

[Rockster]

i have taking mine to the jet wash today... got loads of muck out of the arches... but yes if the weather is dry.. it will be getting a good wash ...

 

[bigjim]

hopefully get to use my superspray thingy and the snowfoam this weekend.
she's cleaner than most in the works car park but when you get up close she's filthy.
