I think I have a problem....
2 days ago we had our one day of sunshine,which sadly highlighted the bramble rash and scoring from a couple of trips to the wonderful green lanes of Cumbria.
She gets pretty well looked after,with regard to washing,but I decided it was time to give the old girl her annual deep clean.
10 litres of Viro-sol arrived yesterday,the snow foam lance was topped up,the Muc-off Ubershine was located,as were the clay bars and Demon Shine to ease the clay bars on their way.
The Meguirs Ultimate Compound for the scratches was laid out as was the rather wonderful GTechniq C4 trim restorer....
The Iron-X spray bottle was refilled,as was the Megs Tyre dressing and the Autoglym window cleaner....
I haven't decided on which sealant yet,or to go with the Megs Gold Class liquid wax or use up the old bottle of Turtle Wax that's been in there for years....
And I complain when SWMBO buys another pair of shoes....
Oh,and it's chucking it down outside "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I spent 4 hours on mine yesterday evening.
And it was covered in birds**t this morning.
And they seem to be swallowing liquid cement in their diet

Mine get done at the service or any extra corricular visit to the dealers. But only if I'm not in a hurry to get back like last time.

If your car is under warranty. Take it in on some pretext and get their free valet.

There is some mileage in that suggestion...Team Valley do a particularly good one
But a couple of times a year,I like to do a thorough job myself,over the usual wash..especially if the swirl marks are getting obvious
I just need to stop buying car cleaning stuff "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Dave,yeah that is one advantage you boys have...although if water gets anywhere near Defenders they tend to dissolve "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...
