walked into B&Q (bas) and looked around 5 mins (casually glancing for buckety type things) and came across bright ORANGE buckets on sale.

Not settling for anything less than the real mccoy, i plucked up enough courage to ask a sales assistant if they still did the "clear" buckets.

She wasn't sure (well, more puzzled), and summoned the resident "bucket officiado" from the back room.


The guy asked me where i'd heard about that, and i made up a story about a friend recommended them for transferring fish (i know... it was the first thing that came into my head).

He only ever recalled the "black" buckets and even gave me the exact date they stopped selling the black ones...
i thanked him for his time, before i fell asleep, and settled for 2 nice shiney ORANGE pails instead


I hope the car will still come up nice.

infact, if the blue sky comes out today, then so will the buckets....

Mate I tried Basildon, they didn't have any, I got Mine from Lakeside...

HOW much for A bucket!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oi dont start. Youll be needing some for the new motor anyway

 

Save your Money

Those car washes with the really soft bristles get the car shinning




























Waits for the Clear Bucket Brigade to get of the floor

 

Death to car washes mate, thats a swear word in my vocabulary

 

 

Who's up for a clear bucket groupbuy then

 

LOL

Thought that my stir a reaction

 

TKAO what wax do you use? Or do you take yours to the DSS chavs with broom brushes

 

I find a mix of Vim and Fairy Liquid works well thanks

 

You'll all be buying these soon

I used to use Fairy liquid on my 306, was good

 

Thats pure nasty!

 

STOP PRESS......

The Orange buckets are really good.
You can see all the grit, and nasties at the bottom clear as day.
in fact i think "orange" is the new "clear"

Highly recommended!!! @98p

i do need to add this....

one end of one of the handles manged to come away from its fixing and as i went to move the bucket, i upended it all over my foot!!!!! - still, cleaned my trainers as well as the car, so not all bad

Steve, dodn't have any application material for the polish, to hand, so this will get done next time.

i found an old sock to polish the exhaust though!!!!!

 

OK but make sure you clay bar and cleanse first!

 

See you buy inferior products and they fall apart. You have to pay that little bit extra for quality!!!!!!!!!

 

my patented "stop the handle coming out" system will hold up to anything the clear buckets can carry!!!

orange also visibly reminds me to put the buckets away, instead of reversing over them !!!

bring sunglasses to the halfway house with ya!!! - you'll need them. lol.

Dazza

edited to say, i'm worried my car will look like a Delorean, after claying!!!!

 

Try it on a small unseen surface first

 

What is it with the clear buckets am I missing something?

I recently purchased a jet wash, not going to see allot of use now we have a hose pipe ban .

Unfortunately, I fear you are correct sir.

OK, so when it comes to cleaning your cars, some of you are just nuts

I'll stick to the quick rub down with a soapy sponge and a rinse off with a watering can
