Where is the weirdest place you've decided to wash and wax your van

[bobnudd]

Just stopped at a shop, on holiday in Cornwall with all my family on board, to buy van cleaning equipment so that I could wash my T6, and did it there, at the side of the road (theA39) Aint it great to be able to do what you want and where. Live free or die, I say.

I cheated and used demonshine, luckily the shop had an outside tap.

Waiting for Sunday lunch to arrive.
No wax coat though.

I have never washed my van in 4 years! Are you supposed to wash them?

I'm nowhere near as bad as @oldiebut goodie but as someone who doesn't wash their van much more that 4/5 times a year (and the car even less),

This made me realise how much I enjoy washing my van. Its not "sad" to enjoy things, is it?

Before I had the van the weirdest place one of my vehicles would have been cleaned would be my driveway as only took them once in a while to a hand wash place (pre holidays, special occasions etc). Now I do clean the van myself regularly and always before we go away as it’s nice to have a clean van to camp in.

But I hate doing it as I find more and more imperfections every time!

Well I might not have offended with my earlier post but I suspect it at least irritated one or two so I’ve edited it!

No hard feelings, I know my behaviour is not really normal

Recognition of the problem is the first stage in your journey to better mental wellbeing.

Now go clean the van

I've often thought to take a bucket and sponge when going to buy cars/ vans, as you're right, every time you find some more imperfections.

Try owning an Ex-AA van with very badly removed stickers/paint job. Every time I wash it, it looks worse

I used to thing washing and waxing my van on the drive was weird.....

Then I joined the T6 forum
