Title: How often do you do your own? Are you OCD?
Post by: The Jester of Wibbly on May 24, 2017, 02:14:03 pm
I think I am OCD on my own windows. I try and do mine once a week even though they  they don't really need doing.  I get stressed when I spot a new fresh mark on a window.

I think I need to chill.  ;D

I work the street I live on so I do them every month when I do everyone else's.  I occasionally do the living room one in between as have a cat that likes to sit on the outside window ledge and put her nose on the glass so it gets all snotty.
Over the years though, I have cleaned the windows of a number of other window cleaners who can't be bothered to do their own.

ive had my golf in the garage this week for a carbon terraclean,new exhaust and air con valve/re-gas too.its going in again tomorrow for brakes and suspension bushes,its already had a full service,cam follower change and 4 new tyres in the last month or so.cost me a fortune.ive already spent nearly 2k on it in the last few months.

I thought it was common knowledge that you need a carbon terraclean after the flux capacitor has been reconditioned.
No?

its a refined fuel/additive that cleans out some parts of your engine/fuel system.they hook it up to their machine and it runs on this fuel for an hour or so cleaning out some carbon deposits.i must admit the car feels a bit more responsive/perkier since ive had it done. :)(the cars done 100,000 miles now)

I usually do mine around every couple of months.

They are overdue now, but my youngest daughter will be starting work with me part time from July, so I will leave them to train her up on.

Done mind about 4-5 tines in 2 years and thats only when ive been trying a new briah or summat. Can't for the life of me see why anyone would pay for a window cleaner every month can't say I ever notice.
