Cringed as I watched my lad 'help' me wash my truck. I did only let him do the contactless stages tho'.

It was much needed as it must have been 3 weeks since the last one, and for those that know how dirty Amaroks get, it was hanging. I kind of liked the muddy look, but I'm liking it even better now it's clean. DBP is certainly worth the effort.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Got to teach them! 

They get filthy don’t they.   Look great when clean though so it is worth the effort.

The bed was especially dirty due to the crap I had been carrying away from our house build. I bet there's no one else using this section that has stood in their boot and pressure washed it.  :grin:

I think you win that bet.  I’ve stood in the boot but without PW in hand. 

House build???

House build???

Yes. I've have this bungalow for the past 20 odd years that I have let. The tenants gave notice earlier in the year, so I thought I'd measure it to see what else I could make out of it. We have just finished knocking down and putting in foundations for the timber frame which arrives a week today.

Sounds really interesting.  I like a house build project.  Hope it all goes well.

Bought a set of Detail Guardz to stop that pita of pressure wash hose getting caught under wheels.

I’ll be interested to hear how you get on with them Rebecca. I’ve been thinking of getting a set as it’s something that I find really irritating.
