johnsons baby oil

[dsh85]

anybody used this on here?

heard it when browsing the tt forum, they all seem to swear by it!
adding a cap of baby oil to your wash mix i think with some good results!

thoughts?

[Viper]

does it make your car as smooth as a baby's arse? lol

[furioAL]

Fair enough using it on your bump strips... but id never put it in with the shampoo when washing the car... im sure there are other far more effective ways of getting a good end result...

hmmmm ight bead the water better, only one way to find out i suppose :y:

[dsh85]

yeah was thinking of giving it a go at somepoint, its ph neutral which is nice to know ;)

[Viper]

should have said earlier, washed the derv earlier today...

[Predator_R32]

well you can still put it in the washer bottle its only a capful

[Viper]

washer bottle?

as in windscreen?

i'm not putting it in that :panic:

[Predator_R32]

think danny needs to clear this up

wash mix, in washer bottle or in car wash bucket to wash car with???

[dsh85]

pred you know i mean as in washing the car all over ;)

wash mix as in shampoo and water or whateva you use, in a bucket

[Predator_R32]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh right as in lubing yourself up to wash the car lol

hmmmmm ask them why they do it

[Viper]

well i knew what he meant pred.. lol

why would anyone put oil in their windscreen washer bottle? lol

[Predator_R32]

same reason they put it in the car wash mix to get some beading i guess

[Paul]

Danny go lube your car up.

Come back with pictures :y:

[Viper]

why would you want beading on your windscreen?? lol

[Predator_R32]

because when it rains rather than the rain just sitting there it beads off making better vision

[Viper]

do you think that would actually work?

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

So can you use it on your bumperstrips? to make them shiny then?

[Viper]

Most oil based products will. :y:

[Predator_R32]

do you think that would actually work?

tbh i just use perma clear, or you can use rainx

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

Most oil based products will. :y:

I did run out of silicone so i used abit of tyre slick stuff worked fine but like 10mines after didnt work so well :oops:

though ill give it ago if i got some here......seeing as im looking to clean the car 2moz if weather is nice :y:

[betty02]

My mate put some sort of grease on his windscreen, and when we was on the motorway and the rain was lashing it down (typical blackpool weather) the rain was just running straight of, he had his wipers on 1, instead of the usual 5 for that kind of rain, it was actually ace, and seperated the water basically and could see alot better

[nathan0711]

what benefit does baby oil actually have apart from lubing your car up????
be good as a burglar deterrent though wouldnt it if you used enough? lol. they would just slip when they touch the car :P

[betty02]

*awaits borat style NOT comment*

[nathan0711]

not really that funny i know, i just wanted to sound a bit witty at the end of that thread. not sure it worked tho. lol, o well.

[Krys_23]

Haha oj bud.. on another note i might try mixing this in the gilmour with maxi suds hyper wash and snow foam :P lol

[Branter33]

As said, It helps the water to run off the car... aiding with the drying process. Pretty much the same idea as spraying the car with Quick Detailer before drying :y:

Never tried it myself mind you so would be interesting to see how much it would help.

[Krys_23]

I'll do the mates zr sometime this week or weekend with the baby oil and i'll post a thread :y:

[jam2008]

cant see it doing that much tbh

[Lee_P]

[Lee_P]

[Morgan_VTR]

[gozzy-vtr]

???right ok..

[JoshG]

there is something that you actually put on the windscreen... they put it on planes.
someone must know someone who can enlighten us

[RedB]

Il post the results of using this in a wash either tommorow or wed when mine is back from the bodyshop ;)

Bumpstrips and trims definately come up a treat using baby oil and oither products like that...Windscreen i stick to RainX or Permaclear like pred but this would work in pretty much the same way :y:

[furio-james]

ive used to on my bump strips brings em out like new :)

[leeroybrown]

I think this has now cleared up the fact that you are a homo

Johnsons baby oil........!!!! GTF

[duggy]

Might have to try this tbh :y:

[VTR-LEE]

just get a decent shampoo instead of trying urban myths go on cleanmycar if your that desperate for good finish loads of quality products on ther

[dsh85]

thats no fun however, i will have to try this at somepoint its just getting the time

[furio-james]

im not a homo just have baby-soft hands :homme:

as for urban myth's if it works no point forking out unessasary money for cleaning products that are over priced

[Harv]

Guys....I tried it today. Makes beading better on the car and water runs off well.

BUT

Unless you like oil marks all over your drive and like clearing it up after you've washed your car then don't do it. Water does not go well with oil, I was looking at the drive thinking hmmm....where's that come from? Then it twigged, its the oil in the baby oil :wall::wall:. I only put 1/2 a cap in aswell. So nah...don't bother ;) well....unless you like to spend your time clearing up oil marks.

[jamiemol]

i tryed both didnt see much diff with washing but the strips came up a treat wonder how long they will stay that way lol
