Mrs Rappy on strike? :D:D

[ToMBoY_C]

Engine conversion?! Would be alot faster seen as you only running 140... Atleast get 165 with the "Blower"

"Mrs Rappy on stike" :Blush2:.

:biglaugh:.

Guys, I will post the real reason for my purchase on Monday :D.

[richball65]

For blowing fag ash out of the car?????

[johnloaderuk]

Drying the car off after it's been washed perhaps ?.

[Quatrelle]

I wonder if it would blow snow?

Failing that, something to do with leaves....:p

[Zeb]

Exhaust replacement!

[g-black]

I use 1 to clear snow! Much easier. Have also used it to dry the car, get eater out from round the panel gaps.

I reckon you are spot on John :approve:

Well done John. You are spot on :approve:. I will be spending around another 40hrs on my sat when the weather warms up. Reason being I want as near as possible to a 100% correction.

I dont want to introduce any more swirls or scratches hence buying a leaf blower.

Mrs Rappy thinks I'm crazy!!!! Leaf blower on a car!!! :biglaugh:

[ToMBoY_C]

I also think you're crazy.

[rapport25]

You cant beat the look of a highly machined polished black car for depth and clarity :approve:. I hate swirls and scratches :aargh4:. Every time you touch the car you will introduce both.

My wash process will be rinse with water so it sheets off the car and use a leaf blower to dry :Blush:.

My neighbours will think I have lost the plot or just agree as previous that I'm car crazy :D

[g-black]

It's an endless fight against swirls. After a full correction in October and being extra careful all winter the swirls are back.

[Quatrelle]

As someone who never really polishes a car, all this is making me feel a bit smug. :p

I work on the principle that when I've washed it it will get dirty pdq, and that it will be dirty more than it will ever be clean, so what's the point (that's a rhetorical question btw) in keeping washing it (I appreciate that things might be a bit different if it's a company car) and 'scratching' it.

If and when I wash mine I clean the front with a spray of supermarket furniture polish to remove any dead flies (no need in the winter) and that's it. I stand back and think how good it looks, and then wait for the inevitable trip out and a dirty car again.

I do, however, remember that I was once like you Rappy, but that was a long time ago.;)

And, it does help that the roads round here don't get quite so dirty as some.

Best wishes

:biglaugh: Thanks Q. In the summer months mine was getting washed 3-4 times a week to remove dust etc...

The same question can apply to washing your clothes and cleaning your house whats the point :Blush2:

My only solution would be to never buy another black car again. My previous car was silver and would get the normal wash once a week. And a full detail once a year.

Now my black pearl is another story. I will spend another 40 hrs detailing it then I would imagine It will be going early next year or sooner.

:biglaugh: Its more a case of why spend another 40hrs and waste all the hard work.

I want my black pearl to shine ;)

Its a big thing on the american detailing forums to use leaf blower. Now they are car crazy :D.

I have not yet tried mine. Waiting on my new jet wash and snow foam lance that will be here Friday.:approve:

Well done John. You are spot on :approve:
