Car Wash party soon?

[M5Beast]

I am gonna try this setup I read on M5board, I posted it in the claybar thread, about 3m swirl remover and P21s carnuba wax...

Also I am investing and buying this..... http://crspotless.com/


I hate water spots, its the reason i don't wash my car like every 3 days and baby it

[kelso]

p21s is alright but id recommend other products above it.

seriously , get a sealant like poorboys ex-p or wolfgang deep gloss. then top it off with some pinnacle souveran paste wax. it will look amazing. trust me.

and i wouldnt waste the money on that water filter thingy. it looks to me like a very expensive version of the mr clean auto dry and if so, well the filters get saturated with minerals and such very quickly( thats what causes waterspots) and it loses its effectiveness. basically just wash it when the sun is going down or something. the salant and good carnauba mix will reduce waterspots too because the water just beads up for hours.its quite amazing...

[M5Beast]

Mr clean has never done crap for me...

[David A]

I use P21S...everyone that has seen my car can vouch for it's cleanliness...errr...:rofl:

[JCapelo]

ya rite....^^

[jordantii]

I have the CR spotless unit and it works as advertised. You will need a pressure washer for it to be most effective. I have been using mine for about a year. At the first set of resin cylinders were not up to CR's standards so they sent me some new ones. I washed the car last week and did not dry the car. Just let it air dry and I have no spots.

Also, I have a tremendous amount of detailing products at the house. Also have a tent that I use sometimes when detailing the car. The products I have are FK, (have not tried it yet, but I have heard it lasts as long as zaino and looks better, the soap is amazing, very slick) Einzette (the full line) S100 (same as P21s) and various 3m compounds along with some other random products. Have a Porter cable RO and too many MF towels.....

I am in for a wash party. We can even do it at my place if you want. I have a 4 car garage as well.

Best,

Jordan

[TheDarkSide]

When are we doing this? Detail party at my place Sunday?

[JCapelo]

jordans house would be awsome....he has a huge driveway and a 4 car garage.

I wont be intown this weekend so im out!

[M5Beast]

That would be sweet to do it there, cause I hate water spots with an undieing passion, and cannot wait to get the system!

I am also out of washing supplies, I'm going to order some sponges, towells, 3m swirl remover, and some P21s carnuba wax. Maybe I'll get a claybar too... the bimmer doesn't really need the swirl remover or the claybar, but my truck badly badly does...

The bimmer just needs to have the wax stripped and redone, and cleaned up.

Another vote for Jordan's house. He's a lot closer than you or Dave.

[M5Beast]

Dave is close to me, can't happen at my house theres no driveway room

[ben]

Another vote for Jordan's house. He's a lot closer than you or Dave.

yah, did you get my email jordan? :)

bellair=near teh beaches = near the bridge in my sig = good for pics afterwards.

there are also two parking garages we can use in downtown clearwater as well.

E46 M3 + E39 M5 + + E60 M5 = FTW ^ 3

I believe the road literally catches on fire if those cars are driving around together.

If jordan still has his E30 M3, we just need an E36 M3 and then we basically win at BMW's. M Coupe w/S54 might be there as well ;)

[kelso]

all these hot cars and i wont be around:mad:

next time...next time...

[TheDarkSide]

Kelso, when will you be back, we can just push it back ;)

[jordantii]

Yes Ben I got the email. Just did not reply yet.

We can do it at my place, just need to check with the wife and see if she has and family plans set. should be fine.

It does not matter to me either way. This weekend or when Kelso gets back or even if we don't do it at my house.

Just let me know.

Jordan

[TheDarkSide]

Awesome, so Kelso, when is it?

[RPM Photography]

I'll go if I have a ride.

[Gator911]

Are there going to be chicks in bikini's?? Of course i dont want them to even think about washing my car, but at least it will keep me motivated through the dreaded task that is washing a black car

[JCapelo]

ill get in a bikini for you keith!

[TheDarkSide]

:love:

[kelso]

i get back on the 29th...by the way i wont be posting after today lol

[TheDarkSide]

FTL, :ban:

[kelso]

no no, big ftw!

[TheDarkSide]

I guess...not if my car says this dirty...

[M5Beast]

:ditto: Mine needs a bath now...

[ben]

20% chance of rain for friday and saturday, not sure what sunday is.

this weekend looks as good as any considering how bad the rain has been lately.

[jordantii]

Just let me know. I have to wash my car and maybe some polishing too.

I can do it either day.We can do it again when Kelso gets back. Maybe make it a "thing" And then I can convince some of you to come out to the track.....

Best,

Jordan

Friday night or Saturday morning would work best I think :)

I just joined Chin motorsports and I am signing up for the August 26th event.

[M5Beast]

What track? Sunshine, Bradenton? or are you talking autocross?

I go to Sunshine all the time, I've never been to Bradenton but I want to go one of these days...

[ben]

No, Sebring.

The Chin event at Sebring:

[LDadrenaline]

any of you doing the october chin?? Im going to try to make that one although its a far stretch.... we'll see what happens

[jordantii]

I am going to Sebring in Aug. and will also go in Oct. Try to get out there as much as possible.

No dragstrips for me. Never understood why someone with the ultimate driving machine wants to go fast in a straight line for 14 seconds??????

Best,

Jordan

[jordantii]

So Ben is coming over at 10am tomorrow (saturday) for a wash. Anyone else want to come by?

Jordan

[TheDarkSide]

Man, I will be at work. Move it to Sunday I you will see my smiling face :)

[ben]

Man, I will be at work. Move it to Sunday I you will see my smiling face :)

aww.... :(

my philosophy is cleaning the car saturday morning so it looks good saturday night = ftw

cleaning the car on sunday so it looks nice driving to work during the week = ftl

;)

[TheDarkSide]

I feel the same, just trying to justify...

[M5Beast]

I will come if you give me directions... I may have to be after ben... waking up and driving to where you live which I think is far, at 10am is going to be hard for me lol! I usually wakeup at like 11 lol!

[jordantii]

You guys decide. I don't care either way. I was my car to be clean not for any particular day.

Jordan

[jordantii]

Beast, you can come a bit later it usually takes me an hour to fully wash the car inside and out. Only thing will be a ride/drive your car :*)

I will pm you my address and # and you can mapquest it. OK?

Jordan

[ben]

if i do the interior that alone can take me like an hour...washing doesnt take all that long, but the waxing part? uhhh yeah another hour ;)

[M5Beast]

I gotta stop by autozone and get a canister of armor leather wipes... it takes a whole canister to do my car once... Damn that full leather option lol

The outside takes me FOREVER, normally because I have to wash it, go over it to get the waterspots off, then wax it, then buff it... and I'm out of pads for my buffer

I definately have to come see this de-ionizing system.... if it works that well I'm definately investing in it, because I hate waterspots! Plus It takes de-ionized water to fill my fish tank and we may be starting it back up soon, so that makes things alot easier!

[M5Beast]

Ok I'll officially be there, but prob not until like 11-12 leaning more towards 12...

I'll call you when I'm on my way at the number you gave me

[jordantii]

Sounds fine.

[TheDarkSide]

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[imageWIS]

I wash the car at night. Of course, I’m really anal so I spend about 2 ½ hours washing the car (the wheels alone take me 40 minutes, although I clean the inside of the wheels as well…).

2 1/2 hours is nothing :D

Why how long do you take? (clay bar / sealing / waxing not included).

Jon.

i did wash/clay bar/paint polish/wax in probably 5-6hrs.

never gonna do all that again for a long time, just gonna do wash/detail spray/wax.

[kelso]

i dont mind spending time on cars, bring em to me!:D

[M5Beast]

May need your help Kelso, the M5 has some hard waterspots from going to Naples and back twice, and now to Orlando... I also have a nice scratch down the side of the car from I don't know what...

[944attack]

interesting, i spend about 11 minutes washing my car, which includes about two on the wheels. my paint is so old and dryed out that it's not worth trying to bring back. In fact, i have tried several things, all of which were fine for about a day, but just failed in the end. I just need a new paint job. :(

[SlickShift]

Did you claybar and use an abrasive polish?

Just a normal wash, like the one I did yesterday, takes me about 2 hours...40 minutes on the wheels and the rest washing, drying, ect.

[944attack]

wow, looks like i could wash 12 cars in the time it takes you guys to wash one!

[LDadrenaline]

mr clean auto dry ftw!!!!!!


now all i need is one of them

[kelso]

unless your paint has white spots ( heavy, heavy oxidation), i bet you it can be restored.

how do you spend 2 hours washing the car though... i could wash, dry, vaccum, and probably go over it with a quick detail and maybe dress the whole car!

[JCapelo]

kelso, megan wants you to detail her car

[kelso]

consider it done:highfive:

[944attack]

unless your paint has white spots ( heavy, heavy oxidation), i bet you it can be restored.

the entire front, hood and doors of the car have heavy oxidation, lots of white spots, but the rear was repainted just before i got the car, so its not as dull but still looks crappy. Im just going to wait about another year or two to save up for a new paint job, i dont like the paint on my car anyway...

[kelso]

my bro does some pretty good paintwork. so far he's only done paint for himself but i think me and him will be doing a car this week.

jeff, whats meg want done anyways?

[JCapelo]

Im not sure, maybee a wax or clay bar....

the car is clean just needs a good shine to it, and id be willing to give you a garage and food/drinks....Plus a little money to help for the cost of materials ect.:bow:

[kelso]

that sounds fine with me, generally during the week i can only promise to be off work ta 5 and by the time i got around to whereer it would probably be 6 or 7. i dont work sundays though. hey ryan whenever you wanna set up a time im down

[Cokewell]

Not gonna lie bro when I detail my car it takes me like 4 hours.

[kelso]

do it on enough cars and you learn time management with detailing

[Cokewell]

I suck at life

[TheDarkSide]

How about Sunday at Dave's?

[kelso]

**** i think my girlfriends moving to UF on sunday...ill make sure on that though

[M5Beast]

How about friday or something? The M5 is looking hideous and I move to ft myers on saturday...

I have some insane waterspotting, it hasn't been washed well in forever! The Escalade as well!

[kelso]

friday night? i work the streets till 5;)

[TheDarkSide]

I do not have many days off so let me know and I will work around it.

[kelso]

moving day is friday, so is sunday still alright with you guys?

[M5Beast]

I can't do a sunday :( so unless ur free like thursday or wednesday maybe if you can even do a private detailing for some payment, I'd be more than happy to, cause I have too much work to do on either one of the cars for myself alone to do

[TheDarkSide]

:( Sucks

[kelso]

i think i can swing thursday for you, but it will probably be a bit late before i get started i think.like around 6...

how often will you be coming home from college? cause if your gonna be back soon i woulndt worry too much

[M5Beast]

I dont plan on being back soon lol The BMW needs a thorough cleaning and waxing...

I can handle the interior...

The Escalade needs claybar and waxing, but... that is an all day project

[kelso]

the bmw seems like it would be easier, i know i can get it done... the escalade well i could probably start on it but i dont htink id get it done. your takin the m5 to school right?

[M5Beast]

I'm taking both at the moment, idk which my parents will drive back, I'll probably keep the M5 with me at first...

Then again david and I wanna go pimp the escalade at this perkins auto show thing we discovered lol... its a buncha caddys and yeahhh... lol

[kelso]

ok so is this happening tomorrow? the m5 is done, btw how do you like it now?

[TheDarkSide]

I saw him on the way to school early this morning:cheers:

[kelso]

well it looked good when we left his house the other day but i wanna know what he thinks in the sunlight...even though its not been too sunny lately

[TheDarkSide]

What time you thinking?

[kelso]

i normaly wake up at 7 for work, i probably wont wake up that early tomorrow but basically i can be there at any time. i have no plans so i can work around anyones schedule tomorrow.

[TheDarkSide]

Ok, lets do nice and early then.

[kelso]
