Wow, productive.... we want a full photographic documentary on all the above!  :grin:

Talk to Chuff.  I think he was giggling and taking photos as I washed the windscreen with my scraggy old sponge.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Sounds to me like you should be starting a thread in the detailing section, too.  :grin:

Did some tidying and checking over on it last night.  Found a couple of bolts missing.  Nothing particularly concerning, but enough for me to check things over pretty thoroughly.

Got the discs cleaned up, too.  Put the R888s on and pulled the T1-Rs out in case it really is wet on Saturday.

I might even wash it tonight, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

That is genuinely dirty though, you can see where DH has wiped the dirt of the windscreen off the top.
None of this "oh I haven't washed my car in a week and I drove through a puddle today so I must spend 4hrs washing and waxing it" for DH.
Clean the windows so you can see for driving, but that's it.
