Title: My neighbours brand new BMW 6 series convertable (no pictures, just a rant)
Post by: JDM82 on 28 July 2011, 21:32
My neighbour has just purchased a brand new series 6 convertable. She paid £67,000 and its the dogs nuts! She washed it for the first time the other day and I couldn't help but notice the cheap CARPLAN shampoo she was using as well as the jumbo sponge and only ONE BUCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched til I could take it no more and I went out and tried to educate her on how to clean a car the correct way.

I got a blank look and a "Its only a car" comment  :angry:

As I walked away shaking my head in disgust I noticed her rubbing the hell out of a load of dried bird poo............... I went in the house and screamed into a pillow  :grin:

Some people dont deserve top of the range cars, I know its her car and her money etc but...........................

The world just isn't fair!

But how flipping thick is she, spending nearly 70k on a motor and then not taking proper care of it! You would of thought she'd do some research or at least pick up the yellow pagers for a local valet service!!

best thing to do is not let it get to you

about 10 years ago this was how everyone washed their cars and if you used Auto Glym SRP you were the daddy

Guy across road from me uses a broom and a big nasty old paint bucket thing to wash his car, it sounds like sandpaper

 :grin:

offer to wash it for her, if she can afford a £70k car then she can afford to slip you a few brown beer tokens for a quick wash and wax done properly, just tell her of the money you are saving her in depreciation for not swirling the feck out of before its a year old!

I did offer her to wash it when I had all my products out to wash mine and her response was " I don't want all that sh!t on my car"  :shocked:

The sh!t she was refairing to was the likes of, lime prime, chemical guys sealant etc. Not quality products from CARPLAN  :rolleyes:

well you'll have to get up in the middle of the night and do it under the street lights whilst she's asleep  :grin: do it every night then it will never be dirty and she will never feel the need to do it herself!  :grin:

Yeah I can imagine the phone call to the police at 3 o'clock in the morning.......

(Neighbour) "Hello is that the police?"

(Officer) "Yes this is the police, whats the emergency?"

(Neighbour) "There's someone in my car, I can see him out of my bedroom window"

(Officer) "Whats he doing?, stealing your car?!"

(Neighbour) "NO, he seems to be treating the leather with some sort of conditioner!"

(Officer) "I beg your pardon, miss"

(Neighbour) "Thats not the worst part officer, its not even a CARPLAN leather conditioner!"

Hey my neighbour asked for some advice today about cleaning her car :smiley:

Im making progress  :wink:

Although her question was.......... " Do I have to wash the car before I apply T-CUT?"  :sick:


I don't recall what happened next, it all went black and I've just got released from the local police station. I've come home and there's blood all over the drive  :grin:

Only joking but that was her genuine question  :shocked:

Her cars probably just a rental, she pays XXX amount for a month and goes back after 3 years. She won't 'own' it and will not care. Its transport and and an image thing for her. I have them round here like that, they simply don't care.

My box is the same. He had a brand new Jaguar XKRS and within a month he had curbed alloys and yesterday i noticed very light scratches down one side, probably from brushing against hedges down the lanes  to where we both live. Sticky old coffee stain on passengers seat?

Then goes mad at me when SOMEONE ELSE slightly scuffed my company car.
