Shower gel

[LAURA-SAXO-VTRS-BREAKERS]

Thought i'd share a cheap usefull tip. We used to get streaks from detergants when valeting. One day i did my car but no detergant left, so just for ease i nicked the other halves linxs shower gel, mixed in water and i was quite supprised. Smelled nice and streak free. cut through grease mint.
Worth a try guy's.
:y:

Spam, what a bell end.

[Brettles1986]

No thanks

[Manu]

So you use detergents to wash cars, and shower gel when you run out?

[Jizanthapus]

What are you on?

[Prickle]

Also Laura. Nitromor mixed with megs shampoo works aswell. It does what the clay bar does so saves you spending time on that. disclaimer, not my problem

[LAURA-SAXO-VTRS-BREAKERS]

REALLY.
We had non left so i wanted my car washed for the weekend and grabbed that. We still use detergant through the power wash. (we didnt have any that day)
But the shower gel worked a treat.
Yes i understand trying new things might frighten you but for those that give it a go will probably think twice about some wash'n'wax shampoo which some do leave streaks, which then either wants another rinse or wax (more time consuming)

I dry my car after a wash to stop it streaking...
What does everyone else do?

[Brettles1986]

Hair dryer usually tbh failing that a blow torch on low setting

[Gabbastard]

This place is so full of bandwagons its not funny.

I bet lynx shower gel would do no damage to paintwork at all. And ive seen a few high-price detailers admit to using fairy liquid or other detergents to degrease cars so...

[Yates]

I use fairy liquid before getting machine polish out

Yeah pretty much, its agame of follow the leader and see who can stay in the clique.

[Prickle]

This forum has been that since day one.

Tis true. I'm about on other forums and people piss about and stuff but you lot just try to boost your egos. People dish out banter (much more harshly than here) but just people like pickle ruin this place. Don't think I've seen one helpful post and he just comes across as a wanker. It really doesn't bother me but I can see what people are on about.

People like me. :clapping:

Nothing to do with me how the forum is going. You have been on this forum all of 5 mins... Hilarous. I dont recall seeing any helpful posts from you at all.

[MartinObviously]

I've used Adidas Ice Dive on my car before, it did come out quite shiny and streak free. Better than fairy liquid, it seems to leave the plastics looking dry and pale :/

thing is though, I normally use Simoniz and I always dry the car so streaking isn't really a problem for me. Simoniz leaves a film as well so the paint is a bit more protected from road shit, shower gel didn't do that for me.

I totally agree, Prickle is a wanker :y: lol jk

[blackie_2k5]

Most ppl on here aren't a fan of me as I come across a wanker haha

I'm aware of it though, so s'all good :y:

Pickle is defo a wanker though..

[Prickle]

Yeah well i dont care :D

[blackie_2k5]

Yeah pretty much, its agame of follow the leader and see who can stay in the clique.

I'd write a reply but it'll annoy a few and get deleted so its pointless tbh

[HD7]

That's because I don't really know anything about cars as this is my first car and I've grown up on bikes. That guy (and other people in different threads) was saying about how people jump on bandwagons and the like to boost their egos, and every post I see from you is somehow sarcastic to try and get laughs or whatever. I'm not commenting on the forum myself, merely on the reasons other people have stated, and I can back up the reasons, eg. bellends.

Blackie you are far from it, I've never thought you're a dick and you've been helpful in things that I've read.

I'm not saying we all have to be helpful and serious but being a cunt all of the time is a bit shit.

[blackie_2k5]

I like to think I run a fine balance of helpful and totally useless lol :cool:

But I know alot have a great dislike of me lol, I do get on with alot on here aswel though,

Can't please everyone and I make no effort to try tbh

You can't win on forums thoughl, it's right one day and wrong the next, something go out of hand and others don't

Just gotta learn to take it on the chin in most cases

[Brettles1986]

I think blackie is a grade a dick tbh

[SnakeVTR]

I hate blackie, not because he's useless....it's because he has the turbo saxo that i wish i owned :P

On another forum, I got voted (by users in a thread) for being the most helpful member of 2012. I got banned for 2 weeks a few months back because "nothing I say is factually accurate" and "I need a break".

If that were the case, my car would be in the scrap yard! knobbers :P

[blackie_2k5]

Finally, something we agree on, doesnt meani condone what you do with sheep though

yes, you and the sheep! Xx

You expecting loads to agree with you? Wanting a line of thanks for your post? Its a forum. Get on with it... to me its like you have spat your dummy out. Put it back in and jump back in your cot. Im the least of anybodys worries on here. Idiot and im sure id had a pm by now if i was becoming a problem.

I do help in a few threads reg as said.

[HD7]

Couldn't care about thanks or recognition to be honest. Just echoing what has been said

[Prickle]

Just jumping on the bandwagon you mean.

Ok.

[HD7]

Bye buddy.

[Prickle]

Thought as much.

[blackie_2k5]

Raaaarrrrr

Claws away kiddies

You racist bastard, I'm reporting you to a mod, who will probably agree with you and ban me for whinging

[blackie_2k5]

Long as we're on the same playing field

Not that kind of playing field though..
