Its not mine, honest, but many years ago, one the older boys got an AP50 just before leaving school. He was cool, uber cool in fact. However, he would not stop polishing his red pride and joy and ended up with an almost pink AP50! Not so cool then.

Not mine honest,but....
Many years ago my Dad had to use his car in the depths of winter.Due to the iced up windows he got his trusty tin of deicer from the garage sprayed the windows and set off.
It was the following morning when he discovered that the spray he used was infact grey primer.
It took a lot of brillo pads to get the windows and bodywork clean again.
Even to this day I can't believe he didn't spot it when he was driving.......

only last weekend I made a school boy error. I was cleaning the wheels by removing them, I jacked up the rear near side and whilst taking the wheel off, the car rolled, tipping over on the jack and collapsing on the wheel that I was removing
I nearly lost my hand between the wheel and the wheel arch, fortunately the car collapsed back onto the jack that had tipped over
on inspection on harm was done, but next time I must remember to put the handbrake on lol, its an habit of mine to leave the car in park without the handbrake on

Not car cleaning as such, but I stupidly put a ridiculous tribal sticker on the rear window of my corsa (first car). A little while later I decided I wanted to remove it and have a nice clear rear window.
The way I chose to remove it? With a sharp knife of course. Scratched glass
