ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted November 10, 2013 so i've made a few videos by now. i thought it might be a good idea to centralize them, seeing as i haven't put them on here yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsmCVFZcCKMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1-e-q_cDA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted November 10, 2013 what i need to do is complain to gopro about their cases. they either don't let any sound in, or they just let wind in so i have to cover all that up with music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 it's been a while since i last put something up here, but i finally gathered my courage and put myself in the spotlight in this small timelapse of me washing the precious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zen Report post Posted April 12, 2014 The great thing about your timelapse video is just how many cars got washed in the other bay while you did yours! Superb work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 LOL, awesome stuff dude, love how 6 other cars and 2 push bike (LOL, I chuckled at that) were washed before you finished your car.....the others just seem to snow foam rinse and go.....does that really clean your car that much?

ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 it does release the dirt. but it's also too hard on the paint so not really healthy for the car. so i just load up the car with a few buckets, a trolley, a case of cleaning products, a box of towels, sponges and mitts, and a plant sprayer. and let the cleaning begin. i could have also added a layer of the Protech Extreme Shine (probably should have as it makes the water bead off more), but i started a bit late so i'll leave that for next time. tomorrow - weather permitting - will be the day i (finally) fit my Beatsonic aerial. it's been sitting for a few months now so it needs to be done really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 Is it just that snowfoam solution that's bad for the car or snowfoaming in general? How long did it take you in the end and how often do you clean your car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 snowfoaming at home is probably safer since you control the dosage, but at a jetwash, there's a set mixture that has to cut through the thickest of mucks so i would steer clear of those if possible. it's just the same product for any vehicle that fits in there, so from a bicycle to a large van (which not many people care too much about if it gets a scratch or the paint fades) i usually take anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours or more, depending on whether i'm still shining the car, which is something i didn't do this time. i just paid a bit more attention to the wheels as it was the first time they got a thorough wash after changing back to my summers. that's why you see me going back to the wheels in the video. that's not a normal step i SHOULD wash the car every week, but in reality, i more often than not skip a week if the weather is bad or the roads are wet any excuse, y'know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 oh and as a bonus, i made another video which is slightly longer but has nothing to do with subaru or toyota it's of this EPIC drive me and my mate made on our way to form a new "Mitsubishi only" club. i just stuck my GoPro on his rear window and off we went for an hour long drive with a bunch of other Mitsubishi's (mostly Lancers) WARNING: there is an ad of a rival online parts store at the very end (and on the thumbnail as i notice now that i'm previewing this post). if that's a problem, let me know and i'll remove (or remove yourself and let me know ) 1 will300 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 yes having owned one before the GT but never having more than 5 or 6 lancers together at one point, this was definitely a moment that needed capturing. when i saw that my mate was organising this, i immediately told him i wanted to come along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob1kxb 13 Report post Posted April 20, 2014 i just looked at the analytics for my most recent video, and i saw that all UK viewers (whoever you are) have watched the full video. so i just wanted to say thank you for that 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
