Neighbour spraying my car
« on: 26 April 2009, 13:12:12 »
I've spent three hours washing my Mig & doing a thorough job, only to find when i came out to close my gates, that my neighbour had sprayed my car with some thing close to weed killer that he puts on his hedge, I shouted "hang on minute you've sprayed the bloody car" to which he replied "oh sorry about that", but still carried on spraying >:( >:(
I shouted "stop bloody spaying whilst put my car away", to which he did.
Now i don't mind, but then he informs me "this is the last of it anyway, the EU banned some years ago" :o :o :o :o To which the dog came in & so did i.
I'd like to know what the bloody hell it is & why the EU banned it, so i shall be having words & also finding out what it's called later.
I get the feeling i shall be washing my car again >:( >:( >:( >:(

Pete I don't want to sound alarmist, but if I were you, I would get the car washed NOW! You have no idea what he used, whatever it was, I will NOT be good for your paintwork. I would also have a word with your neighbour, be diplomatic though, for all you know it was water. ::)

Yes off to do it now. We've been neighbours for fourteen years & we've never had a bad word. I shall be finding what it is though :y

I consider myself lucky as I have never had a bad neighbour - YET! Hope it's something harmless, even so it may be full of salt at the very least.  :y

would do better getting the car washed down pretty quickly and then having a chat with him just to find out what was in the spray

you don't want to wake up in the morning to no paint on the car

Highly unlikely to adversely affect your paintwork. The EU banned some pesticides & weedkillers due to possible toxicity in water run-off. To affect your paintwork, such chemicals would need to be caustic or acidic, neither of which would work as systemic weedkillers and certainly not as pesticides, since they would kill plants as well as pests!

Just rinse it off.  :y

Avatar adjusted again ;) Any better?

I was more concerned about me & the dog than the cars paint.
It's called Cutless, a growth inhibitor for hedges.

Above refers to Cutlass -- the Cutless site that LZ discovered is for use of the stuff in the good old US of A
