How to wash your car.....
 

...according to Chapman's Car Compendium! :tuttut:

I think John and Mike, to name just a couple, will have a fit! :ROFL:

You'll need to zoom in a little to read it, but it's worth it just to imagine the cringes across the forum!

yikes! :eek::eek2::eek::eek2::eek:

Yes, I can see a new swirl mark (if nothing worse!) in every line.

A bucket of water from the river and an old bath sponge will suffice +++

I hear that brillo pads are all the rage now :p
Drys off with a lovely mat finish

Those green scotch brite pads also leave a nice matt finish +++

You guys don't know what you're talking about, i've used the Brillo pad and it has left swirls, now been and got a Scotch pad and gone over the area and it's ruined my paint :mad:

Keep rubbing with the scotch brite and the swirls eventually join up and you will be left with a stunning matt finish :ROFL::ROFL:

But John will still be able to restore it to a mirror finish! :)

Keep going then you can have it in 'proper' aluminium :)

Like this?

Now that WOULD be a challenge :D

ohh my eyes:eek:

The book I bought on eBay has a very nice picture of a "naked" A8 built and polished by Audi and that really is something to behold! +++

i thought you would find that a tad bright!!!

Found the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_bYyVJj90

You would need more than one tube of Solvol Autosol to polish that

I thought, being a German motor show, they used a bevy of Frauleins "suitably equipped". :rolleyes:

A mate's girlfriend actually used a brillo pad on her then almost new Mini - the birdcrap wouldn't come off with the sponge apparently, mate thought somebody had vandalised the car.

And yes, she is blonde :)

My wifes mate did the same thing.... Brillopad to the front bonnet...

<sigh>
