Not updated this since Blyton, not a lot has changed with the Clio, but recently returned from an epic ‘Ring trip, managed to get 4 laps in (slow and steady), we have 5 cars in our convoy which was brilliant fun. Clio was brilliant with no issues , covering 1300 miles over a long weekend.
The weekend of the 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] July was a very busy weekend with lots of traffic, meaning driving needed to be on point (to make sure you moved out of the way for the much faster stuff – which was pretty much everything else!). We were made aware of a car fire on the Friday and sadly the Saturday was when the 2 french lads died in their EG civic, very sad. An eventful weekend.
As everyone says, if you have never been – do it…but be careful!
Yesterday had a bit of a result. I don’t have access to an outside tap or electricity at my home address meaning car washing is always a pain, however recently come to an arrangement with the neighbour to use his hose pipe (always feel a bit cheeky doing this, but it served a purpose). Prior to this I would use watering cans / local hand wash (with my own buckets / mitts and pay to use the pressure washer) optimum no rinse – which I wasn’t overly happy with using ONR at first but eventually got used to it.
However I recently got a pressure washer for my birthday after reading they could be run from a water butt , so armed with a 25L water container, a Bosch pressure washer (with special adaptor pipe with filter that allows it to be used with water containers) and a AutoBrite snowfoam, I set about giving the clio its first proper wash at home
My setup
Snowfoam – too weak (will fix that next time).
Really pleased with how the setup worked, the 25L container was plenty enough to snowfoam then rinse the body / wheels. Was a little tight with the amount I used but will be sure to double the measure next time to get some proper snowfoam action. Result!
