wash

Went to use the rear wash on the way to work today and nothing came out. The wiper worked and just messed up the already dirty screen. I figured the water had frozen so left it alone. Got in the car to come home and had warmed up a bit so i tested the fronts and washed the screen no probs...

With all the bad weather we have been having recently including snow the leon has been looking a little worse for wear. With a nice day arriving on Monday I took the opportunity to give her at least a quick wash. To put you in the picture, when I got the Leon back in April me and Andy C...

I spentr 6 hours yesterday detailing the out side of my car but as i only managed one layer of wax before it got dark, and then i drove the car last night, im guessing i need to wash it again before applying more wax? Also does everyone wash their car again after using a clay bar?

Just got this two days ago after having a 1.4 Mk3 Golf for 5 years its the 1.8 20v S

Got back from autosport show and washed a bit of M42 off

What mitts do you guys use to clean your motors. I keep stupidly buying the halfords sheepkin mitt, but this seems to be made very badly and rips often. I was looking at either the Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt or Meguiars Microfibre Wash Mitt. Anyone know if one is more suited to clean...

hi guys have any of you had problems with the rear wash not working??? at first i thought it was the cowling from the fabia wiper stopping the water from hitting the windscreen. but on further inspection it seems like the water isnt coming out of the jet its coming from between the nut and jet...

Now i would never normally do this but i need my car cleaned and haven't got time, so i thought i would give that new BP cash wash a go. Having bought my ticket i went to remove my ariel and you can't take it off! So how the hell do you take a leon through the car wash with the ariel on...

so she helped me do mine, in fact she did most of it which was a big help as i had ripped ligaments and cartlidge in my wrist and can put literally zero pressure on it so im a bit **** at polishing and buffing at the moment. She wants to do her car properly and hers hasnt been washed...

Ok I have now done around 4500 miles in the new Altea, time for a wash. But i could not get the car outside the house this weekend so I pop into the new car wash at Chichester’s Tesco (half price offer till Friday) on the way home back to Portsmouth. Now I went to take off the aerial and...

Picked up my lovely new fr last week. Had a lot of fun, and a permenent smile on my face. Only down side was that it was totaly filthy :( So today was the first wash. Looks great now, but really suffered from water marks that wouldnt even polish out properly. Think I was a bit slow, and the...

No messing around today, back from holiday and was all relaxed, but my shoulders were in at the deep end today! The day before we left for Cuba we drove to collect Mrs FD's new horsebox. A brand new build, 7.5ton 170bhp horsebox to carry three horses. Comes with everything you need -...

Hi, I'm after some advice... I bought some SRP, EGP and a Meg's clay kit from halfords yesterday and I plan on giving my car the wash of a lifetime this weekend. I've ordered some P21 wax which won't be delivered next week so I won't be able to wax the car until next weekend :(...

Hi, So far April hasn't been to kind to my LCR :(. Not only did some woman clout into my back bumper but I also seem to have a leak from my rear wash pipe. I'm not sure where the pipe leak is but its dripping behind the carpet on the left hand side of my boot (just where the light and 12v...

Hi guys, Right, sorted this a while back but it's happening again. Rear wash pipe has come disconnected in the one of 3 or 4 places it connects. All the ones i have got to so far have been taped up and the only one i cant get too is where the pipe connects in the boot lid. When i...

Hi, My boot lock has seized, key won't turn clockwise and central locking fob has no effect. Also I can't get the rear windscreen wash to work. I have searched the forums already and put 2 and 2 together but I thought I would check this first before I take it to get sorted: Does the...
