Anyone wash their car today? ?

[JonnyG]

Absolutely, gotta be Gloss black. No arguments.

Yes, indeedy

This paint has been recommended to me. Has anybody got any other recommendations ?

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

Only Hammerite.

Always worked well for me.

If, BIG IF, I was doing track days, I would probably find a high temperature paint of some sort.

I've used Halfords Engine paint. It's nice and thick, 2 coats perfect. (Not the Caliper paint, it's like piss) And its been great. But there's loads out there.

I've used this on our VW Camper. It is really good. Make sure you prep the surface well. There is a surface cleaner and primer that goes with this.

Forgot to say, make sure the lid of the can does not have any POR15 on it when you put the lid back on, make sure you wipe any excess paint off the edges of the lid and can. If you don't, you will never open it the can again. Once it's dried, it's like you welded the lid shut.

That’s pretty specific
Anyone else hear it in the voice of experience?

Chris inspired me to check and rotate my tyres today, fronts were 5.5mm rear 4.5mm after 6500 miles. Went for a more central jack point to lift both wheels. I know there's little arrows but I couldn't see anything to suggest that it was more reenforced there. No damage done further along anyway.

Nightmare car wash this morning. Covered my car with thick, and I mean thick Snow Foam just finished it, and the hosepipe burst. So couldn't rinse it off.
Luckily there's a garage with a jet wash about 10 minutes from mine. So driving to the garage with thick Snow Foam all over the car. Must have looked a tad odd. Got there and thank God it was working. There was someone already there washing his car, Who I took an absolute age, to wash it. Anyway paid me 2 quid and was sorted. Not the end of the world I know, but was annoying at the time.

I would have paid good money to see your car going down the road Tony!!!

"Well Officer, its like this, I think next door's dog has rabies."

Nothing to see here officer. Just an old raver on his way back from a foam party
