Im not really much of a detailer, and it takes me a good 3 hours to get all the above done!
Does the car look as shiney as it should, or am I missing something??
Your comments are welcome :wink:
I forgot to mention - I do have some Poorboys wheel sealer, and plan to take the wheels off at some point when I next get time to give them a proper clean and seal, while applying some Hammerite to thehubs to get rid of the rust!
EDIT: Just noticed the bit of white fluff hanging down on the left side of the exhausts. Off to remove it quick! :grin:

Wife had a go at me yesterday.
All I did was to tell her how to get in and out of the car properly to protect the bolster!
Then I politely informed her not to wear hand cream before she gets in the car, as it leaves greasy marks on the inside door handle, since its plastic.
After which I performed my usual tasks of lifting the kids into their car/booster seats, and then removing their shoes (dont want em leaving dirty marks on the back of the front seats now do we!).
Some people, huh!

Can't expect women to understand these things! :rolleyes:

My g/f knows to treat the golf with respect... but the bloke I give a lift to every day thinks nothing of draging his feet across the sill and scuffing up the trim :sick:

Cleaned the car, as you can see from pics, on Sunday.
It has been in the garage since - so its still nice and shiney - just needs a little dust off when I take her out.
I have this week off of work, so wife wanted to go shopping today (Tues) with her friend. I was supposed to be dropping her off and collecting her afterwards, and looking after the kids for the day.
Was hoping it wouldnt rain so the car stayed clean for a while - but its pouring down.
However, GOOD NEWS. Just heard wife on the phone to her friend - she's cancelled her plans!!!!
Yeay! car stays clean!! lol
Oh man, Im getting sadder and sadder each day!!
Anyways, thanks for all the comments guys ;)
