Lower shelf, bright green bottle at the back looks suspicious

Good attempt but no.

1001 is for freshening up the boot and the cloth is a n old MF cloth that I use with my APC (under the cloth)

The blue spray bottle 2nd from left top shelf.  Can't quite make out the brand but looks dodgy.  :grin:

Also why has one of the OCD bottles got a bright yellow top?

And here's my cabinet of OCDness.  No guilty secrets (that I'm admitting to).  :laugh:

Boom, full marks!

That is my guilty secret - Greased Lightning - Showroom Shine. Although I'd never use it as a waterless method its great for a final 'at show' prep as the surfactants grab flies, tar etc with ease.

I think I should take a pic of my accessories cabinet now too.

The yellow cap is just a spare cap as I lost the original one.

Woohoo!  I got it right. The bottle just has that 'look', lol. But if it does the job then all good.

Accessories cupboard no less!

I have another roll door cupboard next to this one, which is full of 'techie stuff' but that might have to make way for all my drying towels, cloths buckets etc. The towels/cloths are in a plastic storage container but need a permanent home.

Now you're just being mean because I said Lapiz was not my favourite colour.  :tongue:

Probably how we all started out though.  :wink:  :grin:

And how lovely that you've colour coordinated.  :laugh:

While I was waiting for wax to haze today, I thought I would tally up how much I have spent on detailing stuff,I was surprised when it added up to £1400,who said detailing was a cheap hobby.

Nice detailing cupboard.  It's not a cheap hobby any means.

I've never tallied up how much I've spent.  Probably best that I don't.
