Just been asked to take over as the moderator of that section and trying to get a nice little 'best of' detailing products list going. 
Congrats on your promotion Fraulein B!

Thanks M. Ex.

Bit of a surprise.  Happy to do my bit to help out on the forum  :smiley:

Thanks Asker.  You and your repertoire of rhyming monikers  :rolleyes:  :laugh:

It's something to add to your cv!

"I moderate a sleep inducing section of a car forum for the anally retentive members of society, doing my bit for social care in an online community"   :laugh:

And what a great choice of moderator too, your passion and words of wisdom have obviously not fallen on deaf ears (or the typed form thereof).

On the subject of detailing, and keeping on topic: Today I went outside and admired the fine job the wind and rain had done removing the building site dust off my car - until I opened the fuel flap at which point depression set in once again, instantly.
You'd never believe how much crap was in there - how did all that get in there?

I can't deny it, but at least I'm not alone.  I see you ventured into the land of the anally retentive today to make a valuable (cough, cough) contribution, so that's you one step closer to becoming one of 'us'  :tongue: :kiss: :laugh:

Why thank you  :smiley:

On topic, I did exactly the same but without the building dust!  :sad:

I have never washed or cleaned a car in my life and I never will. Just cannot understand this self-car-cleaning mania which IMO is tantamount to self-flagellation.

I pay a professional to spruce my car once every 2-3 months (under my supervision and allied with a whip), just as I employ a cleaner every 2-3 days for my home. My leisure time (which is 100% of my waking hours) is far too valuable to indulge in such mundane and mind numbing exercises.

Similarly I cannot understand how people can spend a not insignificant amount of money on a car, and a not insignificant amount of their leisure time on a car forum umming and ahhing over this option and that option, or sobbing over a kerbed alloy, only to pass it through a swirl inducing machine (car wash) or hand it to a man in a car park wielding a gritty rag  :tongue:   Present company excepted of course   :wink:

Won't be seeing you in the detailing section anytime soon then?  :laugh:

Anyway I've done nothing to my mk7 today because I haven't got one  :whistle:

Never use a car wash or the £10 hand job. Get a detailer to spruce-up my car.
And just because you are a Mod on the Detailing Forum, I will visit it as I love you.  :kiss:
