I did give mine a good clean today.
Connected pressure washer to the hot tap though :grin:
It came up Nice, I was impressed how easily it cleaned as I had used Gtechniq c2 last time. And used it diluted as a drying aid which to be honest was sceptical about but nicely impressed.

Hot tap is very sensible! No pictures? :whistle:

Swipe!  :grin:

Ow! :cry:

Forgot till I came back from Sunday lunch at pub and it was already a bit dirty, thought about taking pics then but I knew someone would complain about the dirt already.
Got pic of my chipped wheel though! 3 weeks old!@@!!$$#@
Collected and being driven....... Gti PP 5dr DSG Tornado red, tints and Brescia's.

Well done! Making me feel guilty now. That looks good for snow foam. You’ll have a nice clean driveway too :grin:.Last time I washed my car, I managed to get almost as much snow foam on my neighbours garage door as I did on my car! He has a nice clean garage door now. :whistle:

Not turned out to be the productive day I'd hoped for :angry: Bloody BBC weather forecast. It was all going so well, was just about finished drying the body and about to start on the wheels when it started raining. The worst held off long enough to get the wheels sort of dry, then it really persisted down. Didn't even get a chance to stand back and admire my efforts let alone get a coat of wax on :sad:

Going up to Middlesbrough on Saturday and wanted it to look presentable, oh well, I've done my best.

I have. But it's very nice where I'm going, never had any bother at all. Other than the dirty crows leaving their mark on my car...
