A couple of weeks ago a guy at work had his car valeted, took the dude all morning and a couple of hours of the afternoon.  By going home time a seagull had done a big sh!t on it.  Felt for the guy but it was pretty funny  :grin:

The car looks stunning mate...
I love a nicely polished black car - its probably the best looking colour when its clean like that.
The only problem is it takes ALOT of effort to keep it clean at its gets grubby and dusty very easily!

Do the washing yourself, get a Karcher, some spray foam, leave it, wash off. Shammy dry, job done. (Assuming polishing etc has been done before hand and all it needs is a wash)
