Went outside my house this morning, at approx 9.00 and proceeded to wash my car and then made a start with the DAS-6 Polisher.

MY missus come out moaning im making too much noise(shes sat in the front room watching tv) and my next door neighbour just gave me an evil look as she shut her bedroom window

Am i out too early for this kind of thing?

Wouldn't say 9 is too early really, I get the dirty looks all the time when I start my car in the morning.

my dad has a fucking huge amazingly loud bench circular saw from a place that used to cut up. Lights dim when he turns it on. Anyways, i can hear it a few streets away from my mates house, at 8am on a sunday. Nightmare!

8am in the week and probably 9am on weekends. If I've got somewhere to be I'll happily start hoovering the car out at 8am on a Sunday.

I used to love going work on a Sunday morning at 6am, starting the old XE Nova up and thrashing it round the estate and wake the place up

I got some scowls last weekend for pressure washing at 9am, so I'm waiting for the shops to open so I can do our weekly shop first this week

Washing black cars in the sun is ridiculous, our garden always had sun and I had a black car. Therefore in the summer I had to start cleaning my car at 6am just used a hose though not a pressure washer.

Bloke 2 doors down often cleans his vehicle on a Sunday morning about 8ish often noise of the industrial pressure washer wakes me up. IMHO nobody should be out of bed before 10:30-11 on a Sunday. Nobody.

0900 is fine. Guessing it's with the pressure washer ?

My neighbours start hoovering and start putting on washing at 0730-0800 and it does my head in.

Just come in for my beer break between towelling down and polishing. Neighbour came out earlier just after I finished snowfoaming, half her car was covered in foam (windy + connected driveways) so she just scowled at me, got in her car and drove off

I normally rinse it for her so she's got a permenantly half-clean car

8 weekdays and 9 on weekends seems to be the unwritten rule.

It's soap, not shit

I'd make sure she didn't get splashed if her car was clean and tidy - but it's always covered in grime from top to bottom so I see it as doing her a favour

I get up at 4-4.30 in the week so getting up at 7 at weekends is a decent lie in So I usually start what ever time I feel like, there is only my next door neighbour who has actually got a job so Im fairly considerate for his sake, all the dole scummers can get fucked for all I care they have a lie in every day
