    You may think you're clever, however you're not.

    If you continue to follow other posters around various threads and troll them in this less subtle than you think fashion you're gone, no more warnings.

    Understood?

    No, you're reposting the 'why would you get X done, when you can do it yourself' formula on threads where Xiney has posted.

    If it is just your opinion, it's quite a coincidence, and one that will unfortunately cost you your posting privileges in this forum very soon.

    You have a chance here to man up, take responsibility for your actions and stop them in the future. I promise people will look better on you for it, than if you continue with this childish charade.

    It's difficult to get underneath the car on your own but go to a jet wash with one of them long handles and push it underneath.
    The wheel arches are more important and can be cleaned from outside with the jet.
    If it's for the NCT it doesn't have to be spotless, just as long as it's not caking the dirt on. Lots of people don't wash their cars at all before the NCT.

    Yeah they say to do it on the NCT website, but no one does. I hadn't had my car washed in about 18 months before mine, and didn't even do underneath then, and nothing was made of it.

    I think it's aimed at people who drive in and out of construction sites and farms and stuff that would have a layer of mud under the car, obscuring the bits & bobs.

    Oh dear... If this was the case, I'd advise you to tell them to give in a good going over,and why it needs it, otherwise they might just do the wheel arches/around suspension.. If It is Jap import it should get a very good cleaning...

    A new car wash opened recently in the estate opposite monaghans garage on the tuam road in at the back of Rocca and they are doing a car wash for €5 , I am not affiliated with them in anyway just thought it was a great hand wash for a paltry €5 , I mean I felt guiltly cos it was worth at least 10€
