Idk why you guys call car washing svending or whatever but that’s how I spent my Sunday afternoon. Always a relaxing chore

There's a user whose tag is Svend that does really awesome detailing and post some really great stuff so he's the go-to for that kind of stuff.

It’s something these nut cases came up with .

I’m the sad guy with too much time on his hands who loves cleaning cars to relax.

Svended is the licence plate covers I use for when posting cars online as some colleagues and/or neighbours don’t like having their licence plates online.

Neighbours car.

It’s an honorific for our friend Svend, who’s magnificent work cleaning cars sets the standard by which all other cleaning strives to match, but will never fully measure up to the work done by the man himself.

Thanks mate. I don’t know whether to smile or blush (okay maybe both).

But it is just car cleaning. Lol.

Haha that’s a cool looking plate and a good story. I find it relaxing to clean my cars, and I’m finally back in a place where it’s easy to wash them when I want so I’m happy.

I’m about to buy a foam gun I think

Thanks. It’s a version of my county flag with my screen name across it.

Cleaning cars is great because you can shut out the rest of the world. There is just you three in those moments, you, the car and the dirt. The dirt has to go but you’ve also not to inflict any damage to the car (most paintwork damage is caused during the washing process). 

As for the snow foam lance. Go for it. It’s a great pre-wash media that which doesn’t remove all of the dirt, it will remo ve 90%, the remaining 10% is easier to remove as the foam softens and emulsifies the remain dirt making it much easier for a 2BM wash.

Not only does it clean well ( foam dependant) but it’s also fun and makes people stop and wonder what the hell it is your doing.
