Very smart indeed Jim :smiley: If the weather is on my side I'll hopefully give mine a spruce up tomorrow. I don't think it's been cleaned since the 18th of September...

Cheers...! I don’t think I’d sleep if mine hadn’t been washed for that long!  :grin:

I've been very brave :whistle: :laugh:

Anyway, hopefully the mucky horror will be behind me soon, interior cleaned, admittedly perhaps not cleaning's finest hour but more than acceptable. Just warming up with a hot cuppa then if I can just summon up a wee bit more of my bravery then I'm going to get the power washer out. Possibly not the best day for it, cold and very damp, but if I don't do it today my next chance will be mid January, weather permitting...

So I took a brave pill and faced the cold and gloomy day. Wish I'd worn a jumper though, brrrr :rolleyes:

Tricky thing was keeping the car dry, it was very damp out so products were difficult to buff off but after washing I did manage to get some C2v3 on the glass and a spray of Finish Kare QD all over.



Forgot to say how useful my new wheel woolies were, made cleaning the wheels quicker and easier. Well worth the cost :smiley:

Looking good again Watts. Unfortunately it doesn’t stay looking like that for long at this time of year. At least no problems with my summer time hate during the colder months - baked-on flies and bugs!

Glad you found the Wheel Woolies to be good. I wouldn’t be without mine.

Cheers SR, each time of the year has it's own 'bug bears' :rolleyes: , I'd have liked to get some wax on today but the conditions weren't conducive.

Looks good. I need to sort mine out this next week; interior and exterior.

Looking immaculate there :smiley:

Makes me feel better about mine to hear the mess yours was in though :laugh:

Top job as always booth, attention to detail really shows.

Thanks all.  It’s so much nicer having a clean cabin!

Someone’s overdosed on brave pills!  Great side effects though!  A very shiny car and a clean interior too!  Looks lovely Watts.

Nothing great than getting in after an interior clean especially when the carpets are striped as well!  :cool:
