Do normies in your area leave you alone when you're washing your car?
Every time I wash mine, I'll get at least 5 people with the typical:
>I can't see my face in it yet >I'll bring mine round later? >you missed a bit >you'll wash that car away >do you run a taxi service?
Jesus Christ normies I just want to be left alone.
Caleb Peterson
Where the fuck do you live? That's not normal.
Cooper Ortiz
Do you live in an episode of The Waltons?
Nathan Campbell
People hate it and leave you alone when you accidentally spray then with the hose.
Just saying, OP.
Eli Lewis
damn, people are pretty chatty from your area I guess OP. While im washing mine I usually don't see anyone except for this one guy that always walks his dog at a certain time and he always cracks jokes like "it's gonna rain today user" and it would be bone dry 100 degrees lol
Alexander Young
England.
To be fair it's not so bad when I just wash my car, but once every couple of weeks when I give it a wash, polish and wax (which takes a few hours) it seems like I've spoken to about 40 people.
A few months ago it got so bad I started driving out to random car parks to do it, but then you get dog walkers and people asking directions even in a empty car park.

It's called small talk.

They aren't making conversation, they are parroting unfunny one liners as they walk past.
Brayden Adams
Clay with speed not with pressure, don't use too much wax or you'll be spending the next 5 hours trying to rub it off.

>Do normies in your area leave you alone when you're washing your car?
Yes, because this is britain, where people are polite and don't feel the need to inject their stupid comments into everything.
Washing mine this weekend, and anyone who objects to me setting up my speakers to listen to music while I do it is going to get hosed.
Ryder Sanders
God forbid someone try's to make you laugh
Bentley Gonzalez
you can not fuck it up if you use the clay with lots of water, and apply the wax on a dry surface.

wow OP that was hard. Furthermore, what I do not understand is >faggot OP tries too hard to make his car look fresh >car gets attention (which is what OP wanted) >OP complains about the attention his car is bringing WHY

I can confirm this is a British custom

Nope. Nope nope nope.
Nothing at a public car wash touches my paint, and my car isn't even that valuable.

Yeah my bad dude sorry I should've driven my mom's Maxima across the Atlantic Ocean to wash it yesterday.
Dominic Cook
Meant a litre of polish and 250ml of wax, but still, kill yourself.

He said do it yourself wash....
There is nothing wrong with these, especially if you bring your own soap.

You polish and wax every couple weeks? Try Nu Finish or something man.
Easton Turner
White is for poor people and red looks shit unless it's an exotic.
Matthew Taylor
>There is nothing wrong with these, especially if you bring your own soap.
I don't like their nylon scrubbing brush, so basically all they offer is that higher pressure water jet. None of those in my area have a water dispenser, so you have to bring in your own 5 gallon bucket of soapy water and spill proof lid on bucket to prevent a spill in the car. That means two sets of purchases from the car wash since:
a. Put in $3.00 (minimum requirement) and use that to prewash car, rims, and blast off any spots with bugs or sap that I noticed from inspection prior to washing.
b. Time runs out, so now time to use wash mitt and bucket. When done, pour out water and set aside bucket.
c. Put another $3 into car wash to rinse off car. If you say bring bucket of water to rinse car off, then you are in for painfully slow rinnsing so nope on that. Sign at car wash says no drying off cars there.
Conclusion: Might as well wash car at home or apartment because you save the $6 and you had to prepare a bucket of soapy wash water anyways. When I used to live in apartments, all the complexes I lived at had a location with water hose that you could park your car at and wash it as part of the features of the place.
Jeremiah Hill
>scrub brush What? You just use the hose.
Matthew Butler
>You polish and wax every couple weeks? Try Nu Finish or something man.
Nu Finish has a shine longer than a coat of sacrificial carnauba wax, but it doesn't really have UV protection. The idea of putting on a modified floor wax on my car's paint also sort of disgusts me even though it is easy on.

Why are you on Veeky Forums?
Robert Watson
Read again The post mentions the power sprayer. Those wash places don't have a normal water hose and faucet in my area.
>The United States isn't allowed to have a northeast region of the country? Most of those types of area labels were made back when the misssisssipppi river was the western frontier. That's why in the USA if you say Midwest, that means Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. It is not New Mexico, Colorado, or Whyoming.

Where I live, people mind their fucking business and leave me the fuck alone.
I wash it on my driveway, with bucket and hosepipe. Anyone taking the piss gets the hose.
Excuuuse me for not reading every single fucking post, fuckhole tardmongler asswipe cunt-for-brains dickwit shitass.
> Spending that much on car washing > Ever. £20 bottle of 'wash and wax' bought years ago, still has plenty in due to 'use two capfuls'. Squirt of Fairy liquid to shift the grease Capful or two of Flash for the same. £1 sponge £5 chamois leather £5 pot of wax for the interior and any black trim, and also does my boots, lasts forever. £2 sponge wipes for the wax.
Hell, the vans at work just use Tesco Value Washing Liquid, because it's cheap and it works and will rip oily residue and mud off anything. Even the concrete of the loading bays.
>There is nothing wrong with these Aside from paying to wash your own car. Do you not have a hosepipe at home?
> Paying to wash your own car > Paying for water > Paying for more water Wow, that's cucked.

Joseph Anderson
What do I need to prder from amazon to make my car look pristine and glossy even though it has to sit outside, parents wont let me use the garage for it havent washed it for like two months because college and midwest weather
Ryan Clark
A new car, if you have let your car sit outside in the elements without washing it for more than two weeks it's ruined.
Lincoln Lopez

>American "humour"
Honestly how the fuck can't you banter? You're an export just like Australia and they treat bantering like a national sport. Why is American comedy limited to sarcasm and why is your "observational comedy" so exaggerated it might as well be entirely fictitious? Even like the likes of John "Current Year" Oliver is some kind of national hero in America and I had literally never heard of him before you troglodytes thought he was some kind of comedic genius.
Josiah Bailey
>HEY YOU MISSED A SPOT!.
HAHAHA did I miss a spot? I never miss a spot. I've been washing this car everyweekend for the past 5 years. I've washed this car even when it was already clean. So don't you tell me I missed a spot because I didn't. I know know ever nook and crannies of this car better than you know the under side of you nut sack buddy. So please tell me I missed a spot one more time even in the slightest joking way and I'll drown you in one of my 3 buckets fucko.

>>normal water hose Nothing's free at a commercial do-it-yourself carwash here in the USA west >>you pay 3 dollars and get 6 minutes of time 3 minutes of time and clock starts as soon as the last quarter is put in. If you put in more quarters to extend the time, the clock still runs thus the time you spend putting in more quarters costs you.
>>put in 1 more dollar and get more time, rinse car There is a minimum amount at all the washes here and in nearby suburb cities. That is $3 and not $1.
I wash at home since I bought one. Much happier and other people wash in their driveway too as soon as they see me start washing. I guess that reminds them to do it. I make it an informal competition by trying to setup and wash as fast as possible. By exchanging cost for speed efficiency, it's down to 12 minutes counting from the time the car is washed to it is nearly dry using a water blade. I have a handheld spray dispenser attached to water hose. About 2 ounces of meguiar gold class shampoo is enough to be all used up. The microfiber mitt is on a pole and there is enough ease of use that I can wash the car quick but gently so that the sealant protection is not lost. The neighbors all use a washbucket for soap because none of them have a soap sprayer. So they are all much slower and re-use potentially gritty water.
John Bennett
>dry using a water blade ya dun goofed
Daniel Adams
You don't?
Jaxson Phillips
>criticises me for spending a squalourous amount on cleaning my car >uses fairy liquid on his car Nice bait
Thomas Gomez
yeah this. I just wash it in my driveway while playing some music, never had a stranger say anything to me, once in awhile a neighbor will stop for a couple minutes if they're walking by but since im obviously busy they dont waste my time.
You know, you and LPG are the only trips who arent retarded and annoying.

Can you not afford to spend $6 a week on your car in exchange for convenience? jesus

Only thing people tell me when I wash my car is how pretty it looks.
Ethan Garcia
>Centuries of inbreeding created this Now we know why Britain is getting overrun by sandniggers
Dylan Lopez
I'm pretty retarded... just not enough to let people know
I think it has a lot to do with where you live, type of residence, neighborhood and such. I'm currently back at my parents as I'm writing my bachelor thesis and have no need for an apartment back at where I went to uni-college, and there is a good 30 feet of ascending driveway, so it would be pretty strange for some stranger to just waltz up to me while I'm washing the car to chat or show me a trick. I could see this happening if I was doing it right down by the road, but even still... having random people just come up to you like that is just plain weird, especially when you're from Scandinavia, as we really like our personal space
Lincoln Powell
>you will never live in a town this idyllic
Here when I wash my car everyone just passes by with their heads down staring at the ground, I live right next to the collection of mailboxes too, so when people pass for mail it's in grim silence staring down. When I see two neighbors walk past the heads are down, nobody looks up at the sky or at anyone near them
Guess the country

>Lookin' good user >Hey do you charge?? I'll bring mine over Some basketball-americans that live down the street >Ay man, I need my tires done like that man
I don't mind. It's usually positive stuff so eh I'll take it. I wash my car behind my house since the driveway wraps around if I want to be left alone or doing major work.
David Torres
Me and the guy who reccomends 'Nu Finish' are different people.
I really know fuck all about it. I polished my car with that Autoglym stuff by hand a while ago and it brought the paint right up. Every once in a while I use glaze to fill in the scratches the faggot previous owner put in by presumably using a car wash, then finish up with some wax. I clay every few months.
Detailing a car is easy once you understand what do to in what order.

Juan Davis
When your car's covered in oil, you'll understand why.
WHAT convenience? I already own a hosepipe and all the tools I need. I have a driveway. I'd have to drive to the car wash, PAY THEM MONEY TO WASH MY OWN CAR, then load everything up and drive home. Or I just walk outside, fill the bucket, run the hose, and wash it. On my property. Without driving anywhere. With nobody complaining about 'environmental hazard'.
If I wanted to pay for shit and pay for shit and pay for shit, I'd just take it somewhere and pay a bunch of poles to wash it for me.
>>Hey do you charge?? I'll bring mine over Yes, yes I do. If they want to pay me, I'll happily wash someone else's car.
The politeness is a holdover from when everyone carried knives and other weapons everywhere back in the middle ages, and when there was nothing stopping you murdering someone for being a rude cunt.
Nope, southeast. I just know that adding fairy to the bucket will strip off the oily scum that got dumped on it last weekend by the rain. As well as the salt, aircraft fuel, diesel soot, and now the fucking desert sand as well. Oh, and the bird shit and cherry blossom petals.
