I gave my van a jolly good clean yesterday afternoon after work so when I turned on the ignition this morning a very strange and annoying bleeping noise was coming from somewhere.

No warning signs on the dash or in the diagnostic computer so my only choice was to drive with it.

I turned the volume up and put the window down to drown it out on my drive to Sidcup to pick up some lead.

When I parked up and I thought about it, the noise was identical to the parking sensors so I gave them a clean.

It transpired that when I sprayed the bumpers with the black bumper spray it covers the sensors fooling them into thinking a vehicle or a wall is close by!!

Ah, the joys of Detailing** - every day's a school day



** referred to as "Detailing" just to wind ALFA up

I would use that company....just because they are NOT called "DETAIL my car"!

You do realise that you’re replying to a thread in the detailing section of this forum?

All about that attention to detail…

Agreed.....but people use that word when they wash just the car and give it a quick hoover!! Just ignore me and I I wont mention it again.....I have a particular dislike to most things that we have adopted from the USA in recent times.....like the word detailing, Halloween getting so big, expensive Proms when kids leave school that parents cant afford but feel pressured in to, crystal meth!....etc etc.....

....but some great things come from the USA too!

I know just what you mean about Americanisms. Over the weekend I detailed the sidewalk out the front of our condo
