Bank holiday and good weather tend to be disinclined to coincide in this country.

Judging by the latest forecast for the weekend they have fallen out even further  :sad:

I was hoping to do my wifes car, which is fine as I will do it in the garage, but it'll mean moving my Mk2 outside into the rain. :sad:

I'm taking full advantage of our factory being closed for the weekend so the car will reside in there while the cleaning is done  :cool:

Got up at 630am.
1. Snowfoam 10min
2. Rinse
3. Wash with Raceglaze
4. Clay with AG kit
Back inside the garage as it is getting cloudy

Next step will be
2 layers of srp and just 1 layer of Best of Show after lunch

I washed my Golf around 8ish in the rain, then into the garage to dry it.

It's sat in there air drying now with the doors, tailgate, bonnet, filler cap and sunroof open ready for masking up and machining. I'll probably do that later, then a couple of coats of HD wax tomorrow. I'll do the trim during the week, then I'll be ready for Santa Pod next weekend.
