No detailing today but an addition to the detailing gear family.  Rupes Mini Bigfoot DA, pads and polishes for spot work.  And top up of a couple of detailing staples.


Looks posh i want one lol ....... :grin: :grin:

Maintenance wash today in preparation for going in tomorrow for a new rear bumper. It was pretty bad as it hadn't been washed since before my holiday in Yorkshire a month ago :embarrassed: and it has been used for regular target practice by the local birds :angry:. So annoying though as every wash reveals yet more chips, I've never known a car to collect so many so quickly before. And swirltastic, once I've got the financial pain of new tyres into my distant memory then a DA will be purchased, perhaps I'll get a deal in the sales after the festive period (I'm not going to utter the 'C' word in October....).

I did ask Santa for a VR turbo inlet elbow but got the impression it was unlikely... :sad:

I've just finished washing the white Golf...in the dark, before it's visit to the dealers tomorrow. I just hope it looks OK in the morning. I did my usual, wash a panel, then wash it again just in case I missed a bit the first time.

The Auto Finesse Illusion wax is holding up well too.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
