Be a devil and indulge Peter lol no point getting pressies and putting them away.
I did ours last weekend 7.15 am as I knew the forcast worked a treat and rewarded myself with a cpl of cold ones around lunchtime after cutting the grass etc lol   :whistle:

So I did indulge, just not quite what I had in mind though Neil! It's looking like rain all weekend now :angry: I did give the interior, wheels and lower plastics a clean though yesterday so if the opportunity does present itself I have a head start. The Santiagos add at least an hour to a wash :rolleyes:

Finally got round to washing mine instead of other peoples cars! It had been parked in Manchester airport for 4 days, plus trip to Cambridge last week. Dirtiest it's been! Might be it's final wash.....  :smug:

Citrus pre wash, snow foam, Autowheel iron remover, hand wash, rinse, Aquawax and a coat of Auto Finesse Glisten to finish. About 1.5hrs from start to finish.

Looks good Jim. Must give mine a good wash; it hasn’t been done for 4 weeks. :shocked: Back injury and resultant immobility has prevented me from doing it. :sad:

2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
