Might sound stupid but what do you guys do when you get a show and might have been caught in the rain.i have all the detailing gear but what about some water to rinse the car.do yous take your own or something.im thinkin like a large garden sprayer thing full of water for a quick rinse then dry it off etc?

 

I sometimes take a spray bottle like for spraying flowers.


If it has rained i would just leave the car in rain water.

 

I get the Polish lads outside to wash mine

Swirls are to die for

 

I dont go to a car show to clean my car

I go to look round, talk to mates, buy car shit, watch cars etc.

 

While i see your point some cars are used as show cars to represent companies. In my case Spec-r & mad.

 

I like my car to be as clean as possible when I go to shows ect but if it rains on the way its tough titty, its stays minging lol. cant be arsed to do a half arsed job at a show when theres stuff ive paid to see. fitp for example, it pissed it down on the way there AND on the way back so im glad I didn't bother cleaning it therre

 

Well it does fuck all else Rod does it

 

Most of the shows I have been to have running water, albeit cold but your still able to wash your car.

Steve

 

you and me both

 

Big bucket with grit guard at the bottom...
Soap in the bottom of the bucket...
3 big bottles of water...
Polish/ sealer...
Glass polish...
Tire dressing...
Loads of microfiber cloths, applicator pads...
Big drying towels...
Quick detailer...



Sorry but if its on stand at a show its gotta be mint...

 

garden sprayer and 25ltr drum of water for us when we go along with two buckets ect

 

Fair play to those that don't mind there car being manky but I'd rather people who have went to a show to see cars were looking at a clean one that one with mid splattered all over it.personally I don't like to look around a dirty car or take pics of it.im sure I won't be the only one cleanin there's.

 

This is what I was thinking.will go see where I can buy one in time for the weekend.

 

FLOL..

 

drum from a caravan place sprayer from b&q saying that you probably get both from b&q

 

do they take half each or are there stands together rod

 

The garden sprayers are very popular plus pretty good for doing your wheels.

If all else fails get your mrs to do it while you chat to the lads, like I do

 

What car you got now Steven?

 

This guy^^ Has his priorities sorted!

 

have to admire Sinbad hes a class act, and I can vouch first hand for the chatting part

 

Maguires Ulitmate Wash & wax, best waterless shit I've tried

 

This mate,I've spent a fortune on it since and it's sitting with full set of genuine ambers,17" rondells which totally changed the car and in process of getting cos management sorted.havent got pics of it on rondells as its not been out garage since.spots are off aswell as didn't like them.

 

Greased Lightning is the answer! no water necessary. Easy to pick up on e-bay with the cloths too. I use it on my Focus RS. Immaculate every time.

 

Beautiful

 

That will require a little more than a bucket and sponge to clean up at a show, shes a beauty mate.

Steve

 

Cheers mate.its been cleaned to an inch of its life the past week in the garage so as long as it's a dry day a quick detailer spray over it will be enough just hoping we can get a dry day which will be a miracle up here just now.

 

Lovely car Steven

 

That is a lovely S2 Stephen, will look soo much nicer on a set of Ronnies too

 

I'm sure I remember that S2 from years ago.. In concours.. And iirc was in one of the mags too? Very nice

 

Cheers guy,the rondells transformed the car.big thanks to monster also who is helping me out big time with some show ramps for this weekend.not many like him that's for sure

Maxest yes it won a few modified concours.unreal the condition it's in but I don't want to be ott with it or I wouldn't drive it.

 

Thats a lovely RS turbo!

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOM

 

Steven there water at the shower block not even 100 yards from the show n shine area at Knockhill

 

Rod will yours be at Ford fair this year, missed it last year?

 

Ah right Gibby thats spot on.il pack some just incase.weather is looking up so fingers crossed.

 

Car looks a cracker mate

Looks the business does that. Good to see your back in a ford

 

Defo mate its been a while.be good to see some old faces again.

 

LIDL do a 5ltr garden sprayer for 12 squid. Looks good and sturdy and might get one.
