  • Cleaning car

    For those who laughed at me at the recent lakes event getting my car dirty this is what I did over this week to get it clean again.

    Parked on level ground all 4 wheels removed and the body, wheel arches, floor, suspension, engine bay, and all washed off.
    Old steels wheels put on and drove onto 4 post lift and all wheels removed
    Suspension and floor wiped over and dried
    Brakes and hubs cleaned with brake cleaner
    Engine bay wiped over dried and all chrome polished
    Suspension, brakes, and hubs polished with autoglym polish
    Body polished with autoglym resign polish and the black polish
    Alloy wheels sealed with autoglym alloy wheel sealer
    Interior vacumed and dash polished
    Hood cleaned with hood cleaner
    Engine, gearbox and diff oil checked, water checked, hinges greased, trunnions oiled

    Yep sad i know he he ha ha

                As a new member I don’t like to be told to shut up!
                The club need young members or it is finished anyway.
                The club should try to meet the needs of everybody young and old.
                I wouldn’t use Facebook but seen no reason for the club not to be there.
                A New Web Site is a must for clubs survival.
                I find the delay and lack of clarity of information from the committee difficult to understand.
                The committee should lead us through this difficult time.
                Can the long awaited information not be emailed or posted to its members.
                Censorship is a dangerous route to go down!
                Openness is the way forward.
                Time for me now to polish my bus pass!
                I have to sit down quietly now so my blood pressure can get back to normal from Grumpy old man in Southwater!

                  An Email would be nice when deleting messages!

                      My message was relocated without my knowledge.
                      I thought it had been censored so I reinserted it.
                      An Email of what was going on would have been nice.

                        C5marlin,
                        unless I have a super computer and can read invisible posts yours is still on. No need to do it twice!

                        Well done Lee, I'll still take the P*** out of it though.
                        Cleaned and polished my Berli as well, on top and inside, any chance I can use your 4 poster to do the underside.
                        What's the height limit on the garage may bring my caravan as well. Ha Ha

                          For those hard of hearing:-
                          My message was relocated without my knowledge.
