Not so Interesting wash technique

At work here there have been some contractors outside working on underground utilities and I just happened to look out the window at lunch time and I saw one of the guys down in the parking lot using what looks like a scotch brite pad and some kind of spray cleaner in a bottle to clean the roof, hood & top of the fenders of their work truck.

It looks like maybe the truck had been parked underneath a rusty structure or something for a period of time and water runoff may have ran off of the rusty structure and landed onto the truck leaving behind what looks like an orange rust film on the horizontal surfaces of their white work truck. But anyway, the guy is out there in his Carhart overalls and gloves and is scrubbing it off with a scotch brite pad it looks like, and he is wiping it off with his arm using the sleeve of his Carhart jacket. :eek:

Their truck does look a lot better though, at least form up here on the 6th floor. :laughing:

You're going to send someone into cardiac arrest talking that trash! :nomore:

Yes I know no one on here treats their vehicles like that. I just thought it was funny and thought some others may get a laugh out of it.
 
Sorry to upset everyone..... :dunno:
 
:laughing:

All in good fun my friend. I did find it humorous. (Was just messing with you).

You need to run down there and explain to him that Carhartt's deserve better treatment than that.
You probably don't have any shop rags handy, but you could probably take him a roll of paper towels.
 
a few years ago my father in law asked me if I could get some sap off his hood. "I tried everything"...well a few years ago "everything" was in my book...well not much.

So I dug out some old TW rubbing compound and quickly got the sap off the hood. umm, however what was left behind LOOKED like I had taken a scotch pad to it or wetsanded it. Later I got into this OCD hobby and easily fixed the mess I left.
 
how about this one?

I personally use my work truck as a test bed for waxes, QD, spray wax and general car care stuff. Just today I did a comparison test during some spare time, 1 half of hood with PB QD+ and the other half with Megs UQW. The drive home in the rain shows both sides beading exactly the same.
 
DajaVu - I use my GTI as a test car! I know it sounds sad but it's got all the typical things I like to test on. But no brillo pads!!!
