And don't worry, I didn't waste a good day like today just cleaning the car . . . I started this at 7.30am so I still had time for a good blast later in the day! :wink: :drive

Give me a shout after work or at the weekend sometime and I could pop over. You can show me the new house too. :D

:lol:

You'd think it would look good as new, but MMC's car cleaners clearly don't know much about cleaning cars. It was covered in swirl marks and the paintwork did not feel as smooth as it should have for a new car. I've managed to get rid of most swirl marks, but I think it'll need a trip to a professional detailer to get rid of the worst ones.

Pity about the white polish marks on the light cover rubbers......

I wouldnt have noticed it but I showed my mate Bryn who used to run a chips away franchise and he spotted them a mile off.

Very nice.... 8)
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong! You go for a blast at 7.30 when the roads are nice and quiet then come back and wash all the crap and dead flies off the car! :wink:

Looks ace mate. :thumbsup

I know, I know . . . :roll: But it would involve going round the whole car with cotton buds getting rid of all the wax residue from the nooks and crannies . . . My neighbours already think I'm mental without them seeing my cleaning bits of the car with cotton buds!! :lol:
