K4BGO Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Spending a good few hours washing, polishing and hoovering the car etc. only for 2 days later its covered in tree sap and other residues that will only come off with another wash!!!! Absolutely devvo'd, and I'm ready to chainsaw all the trees down at the side of the park, due to having no choice but to park there for work! At least there ain't no birds@@t over it yet though.

Black Knight Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have a bloody great Sycamore Tree in my drive that’s impossible to stay completely clear off. So yea, I get this ALL the time. Sometimes all that work doesn’t even last the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrikoBB3 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Been wanting to wash my car for the last few weeks. Weather was mostly fine for the week, but as soon as I'm free on the weekends it rains :rolleyes: It doesn't help that the main staff car park at work is basically a gravel track- car looks like it's been in Dubai for weeks after a couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper-wrap Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've not broke my back polishing my GT yet...wash it every weekend if the weather permits though. But have the same outdoor dust/tree mess to deal with...left it for 2 days once, came back to it caked in bird shit which had baked in the sun. Horribly hard to get off haha! Luckily my work has a big multi storey indoor car park...and my cars silver...so that combination means it can stay relatively clean looking for a week or so if the weathers alright. It's mainly just my gigantic 18" wheels that get CAKED in brake dust and road shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davetrigz Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I spent all last Sunday giving mine a good clean, it was that bad that after I had polished it it was covered in dust so had to wipe down each panel before waxing it, then it was covered in sap by the morning!! try a big copper nail, that works wonders in the base of a tree so I have been told!!

The Blue Meenie Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) my current project is bringing Blu's 17yr's exhaust pipe back to chrome.... been polishing for 2 weeks and about 20 man hours so far (using Autosol, Wirewool and WD40)... My next project is to invent a protective/rust proof spray that disolves built up carbon with one spray, and shines to dazzling chrome in seconds Edited June 22, 2011 by The Blue Meenie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsolentMinx Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 My next project is to invent a protective/rust proof spray that disolves built up carbon with one spray, and shines to dazzling chrome in seconds get some ACF50. once it's clean, spray a few layers of that on, leave to dry, and then a lil buff with a cloth. Most stuff should come off easilly after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
