Thanks, Jim. It really is! Give me the windscreen of an early VW Beetle any day.
Anyway, it's been a busy day today. The car was washed, dried, and the paintwork treated to some Auto Finesse Radiance Carnauba Creme:

Carnauba is a bit like catnip for me, I love the stuff. I picked this up at the Auto Finesse stand at the Players meeting at Goodwood, aka the Goodwood Festival of Chav - every kind of modified car is there, it's an eye-opener. I also bought some Dressle, for use on the black plastic bits:

The wheels were waxed with Poorboys Wheel Wax, and the tyres dressed with GTechniq T2:

The windows were cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass, and that was enough for one day.
