My neighbor is kind enough to give me some tips on how to wash my car
So my neighbor came out for a chat all the sudden when i was washing my car and decided to give me a few pointers. Well maybe you guys can learn a thing or two from him.
First off, he asks me if i wash my car everyday and i said no, i wash it once a week. Then he tells me i shouldn't wash my car that often because my paint will eventually come off :shakes head: He suggests that i use those "broom looking thing to wash my car so you can save time". walks into his garage and takes out his brush to show me. Then he tells me to not use soap unless my car is super dirty or else the paint will fade as well, just use water to rinse the car clean and dry it. well.. after hearing that i pick up my carwash soap and add almost half a bottle of solution into my soapy water and stare at him. He shuts up and walks back to his garage. :shakes head: |
Does your neighbor drive a Ford F-250? lol

He just went inside and watched you out his window, pissed off |
Sounds like a guy that knows what he's talking about.

You should have asked him if scrubbing side to side helps cancel out swirl marks

This is super important to remember as well: use a California duster before washing, and press FIRMLY down on the paint's surface to ensure that it GENTLY lifts the majority of all that grit off the surface.

And always ALWAYS use a natural coral car scrub sponge!

Good thing he didn't want to help out.

You should have given him bedroom tips for his wife's likes/dislikes. :D

:bowrofl: I laughed out loud at this. Great if you never want to talk to him again, especially if it is true. |
You could have corrected him instead of being passive aggressive ...

This guy takes the cake.
I used to think my neighbours who always say "You can do mine next" or "I'll bring mine right over" were the most annoying people. On that note, we probably all hear that when we're in our driveway, so try this comeback I came up with one day: "No problem! Bring it by for an estimate. Cars start at $50 and vans and SUVs are a little more depending on how dirty they are." I have yet to have any takers... or even a response :icon17: Quote:

Now in the townhouse, before water restrictions, I washed the cars weekly, and the neighbors thought I was nuts. Cleaning the Z with waterless car wash is just blowing their minds! |

yea and what people dont understand is there is no point on hand washing a car with shitty swirled up paint. Hand washing (properly) is just to prevent swirls and cause as little damage to the paint as possible while washing, which is when most swirls/scratches are actually created. Once a car is all swirled might as well just take it to the auto car wash, because it's not going to look any better until its clayed/polished. |
My dad wasn't a car guy. After my mother died way back when he bought himself a Ford Probe GT. He washed it with a scotchbrite pad to remove the florida lovebugs and wound up with a matte white car 20 years before it was popular. (I was stationed in Hawaii at the time, so I couldn't prevent him from doing it)
|
I hate those lovebugs.

:bowrofl:

Washing your car once a week is a bit much. The less rubbing on your car the better. Once new a guy who had a black 350z who washed it twice a week, car looked brown.
