General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I've always washed my cars myself, only occasionally using a jet-wash when I've got them full of muck, of varying sorts, like mud, clay and paper-mache.
All this "shampoo" and "foam" etc. is all my arse!

Proprietory brand brainwashing!

Get this one. A neighbour came to ours a few months ago, "will you put some coolant in my car's radiator for me, as I can't get the cap off the filler bottle, only the coolant light has been on my dashboard for weeks"?

So, I went across to her drive and she takes out of the boot a 1 litre bottle of "coolant" with VW on it.
"What's that"? I asked, knowingly.
"Oh., I went to the VW main dealer and told them my coolant light was on all the time, anyway, they sold me this bottle of 'coolant' and told me to put it in the radiator fill bottle, but I can't get it undone, it's too tight".
I asked how much they'd charged her for this litre bottle of "coolant". She said, "fourteen pounds"!

How many of these daft people are there amongst us?

Car Shampoo? Indeed!
