Now, we've seen the car's you clean, now lets see how sad we all are and take a picture of our cleaning equipment. This will also allow us to see where all of our money goes ;]

I'll grab a snap of mine when I get home later this evening.

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 6th, 2007, 09:37 AM

My frequent use stuff sits in the 2 buckets I use under the stairs. And I have an overflow CD case stacking system full of other stuff! Oh and the MINI backpack full of my cloths and pads. And I have a Flash no streaks system but I don't have a hose at home. Oh and my California duster. Thats great!

I have alot of car washing equipment!

I think Obsession is the correct word!

And in my year of no MINI the Astra got the treatment.

PmP · Sep 6th, 2007, 12:45 PM

Will Take a photo later, you do not want to see how much stuff I have!

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 6th, 2007, 12:48 PM

You want to see my genuine sheepskin polishing mit? Pervert

rec · Sep 6th, 2007, 12:54 PM

i got mine all in a plastic crate, plus a little hoover and a buffer. plus a load of cloths and 2 of those wipey blades, a chamois and a meguairs drying cloth (which I use for everything, including wiping off excess polish/bumper care etc).

i've really only started with the whole cleaning obsession - though I am about to buy one of those de-ionisers cos I HATE water spots.

people think i'm mad the amount of time i spend cleaning my car. i get all sorts of people commenting, and one of the guys up the road (who owns a Lupo) came to me asking for advice. nice

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 6th, 2007, 01:02 PM

I always get "your going to wash the paint off soon" (couldn't be more wrong there!) or "Want to do mine next". he he he!

I never do a "quick wash" as I always end up doing something to it! My paintwork is like glass though so can't really be going wrong! Get alot of comments at how good it looks!

Shawn knows not to wash the car for me. It won't be up to my standards!

Fu Manchu · Sep 6th, 2007, 01:27 PM

Let someone clean the car for you? NEVER!!!!!

One of life's little pleasures. Good time for thinking and de-stressing. Sure the neighbours think I'm mad. Especially when they've caught me cleaning her at 6 in the morning before heading off to runs.

Might be easier to just list all of mine lol.

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 6th, 2007, 01:40 PM

I know I was still washing mine at 8pm the other day and it was getting very dark. People we giving me very odd looks. People go out on a weekend and come back a few hours later and I'm still there cleaning the car!

rec · Sep 6th, 2007, 02:26 PM

i washed mine on sunday, then it rained so i went back out the next day and washed it again :P
my neighbours think i'm mad :/

PmP · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:00 PM

Here the majority of my equipment arranged by brand name. We have a white box full of waffle weave drying cloths, Micro fibre cloths and applicators (more in washing machine), a lambs wool wash mitt, and three micro fibre wash mitts. Last photo shows Porter Cable Polisher and accessories.

PmP · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:04 PM

Heres most of the rest, Halogen spot lamps for looking at swirl marks in paint, Nilfish hoover, industrial power washer not shown and my latest gadget, a B&Q electric leaf blower for aiding drying off of the car.

Think thats almost it.

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:05 PM

Bloodly Hell Pmp! Think Halfords want their shippment back!

You win hands down!

Looks like you've got bottles and bottles of the same stuff of your autogylm!

Whats in the case? That looks posh!

ScottyBoy · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:10 PM

Fl*ppin eck PmP i thought i had lots n lots of stuff, i cant get a pic just yet im at work til the end of the month and my car and accessories are at home, all with it of course.

Still mostly the same products as me but i only have 1 of each lol!

Porter cable is great still learning with mine.

PmP · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:15 PM

Only have two or three of some of the autoglym. Think ive three of the engine & machine cleaner, bought when halford did a 3 for 2 offer. TBH I buy very little in Halfords.

Case is from Porsche. For the car beside the bench lol.

ScottyBoy · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:18 PM

Ye i have 2 or 3 or some from that offer in halfrauds, i think its still on now or was last week. I mainly get mine from Clean & Shiny etc of the Net. super fast delivery from them also.

I love MINI, Laura · Sep 6th, 2007, 03:19 PM

Thought you would say that! I had a feeling you had a interesting other car. I suppose you've got two excellent cars to look after so I'll let you off!

I don't have that much stuff! The pressure washer and orbital buffer I use I borrow from my parents when I need it.

Ever considered going into business with a set up like that?
