Can’t stand looking at the M3 like this :(
Snowfoamed and rinsed at a friend’s yesterday to get the heavy dirt off but it’s still filthy.
Anywhere open to do a wash, decontamination/de-tar, and a seal? Everything bar polishing basically.
5 Star is closed and JC Autocare seem to be flat out.
Lazy fecker. Would you not do it yourself?
Kids these days, eh? :DQuote:

Further lock down coming in 45 minutes Peter, you need to be very quick!
I would resist the urge to go at it with anything other than proper cleaning gear. The only one I would keep an eye on are the bird droppings, plenty of water to rinse them off, let them soak and don't go in rubbing with a paper towel.
Thanks for the heads up Mark! [emoji16]

Right, Halford's Run:
- Karcher K2 Pressure washer
- 2 buckets + grit guards
- Mitt
- Shampoo
- Decontamination product?
- Clay kit
- Drying towels
- Liquid wax
- Tyre dress
- Auto sol
- Microfibre cloths
- Wheel brush + (alloy wheel product? Iron X if they have it?)
- Glass cleaner
- Leather cleaner + conditioner
- Dash / intrerior trim.... wipes?
- C4 trim restorer
Have I missed anything? anything overkill? Bear in mind I have nothing, was in an apartment before moving to the new house.
This will be good to keep me busy! If I can make it to Halford's...
Get something bigger than a k2. When your old k2 does I used my fil’s k5 and it does such a better job so I’d say get something bigger.
I have all that stuff and more peter and a k7
If I could get some time free from this house I'd do it for ya
If you fancy a spin up to me

Thanks Claudio, that's very kind of you. I'll see how I get on tomorrow, hopefully I'll still be able to get my hands on the products above.Quote:

Not sure where you'd get brake fluid now though, maybe one of the bigger petrol stations might have some..?
If I could reccomend 2 things from halfords it would be meguires tyre dressing gel and the ceramic spray wax.
Also try get yourself a bundle of micro fiber cloths online. And a couple of drying towels.
If halfords are closed reflect autocare should still be open tomorrow. They are based in ballycoolin.

I presumed these are deemed non essential so practically only pharmacy and supermarket open tomorrow
Although a car wash for me and many others is deemed a priority do its essential

I’d say Halfords falls into the ‘essential retail’ category so hopefully it will re-open in the next few days.Quote:
