or more correctly our family D3 driven by elder daughter
Its Lugano Teale...& has been lavished over the years with:
- being kept very clean
- waxed with Meguairs
- wheels just refurbished at Wheel Specialists Leeds
& had dings taken out by Dent Devils
we are very proud of this D3
..awesome vehicle that has been substantially reliable over the years we have had it BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.

Made my motor look shabby - despite much polishing mine still looks like the previous owner drove too close to a cactus in some places! 
My daughters are 4 & 7 years old, not given much thought to them in the driving seat yet

attention to detail..
as things have happened they have been dealt with..
I swear by the Meguairs 1 / 2 / 3 system products...this gets rid of even quite bad marks, swirls & oxidation.
The carnuba top coat lasts at least six months...but being weaned of by the newer ultimate Meguairs stuff
Meguairs ScratchX does reduce scratches to virtually all surfaces
I bought a really good Festool sander poi her some years ago now...this takes the hard out of buffing by hand
at the stage now considering detailing as a retirement hobby business - I seem to have the ability to make even shabby cars look cool ?
My eldest is a bit embarrassed she was seen
question was she driving well...not giving you V signs or hooting ? BREXIT - done properly.

Motor was neatly parked unattended
I've been using Poorboys products, but think it needs more elbow grease! Couple of bad spots which I think have been caused by particularly acidic bird s t!

now theres a subject to get into on a Monday
I was was bombed by a seagull some years back & was in a queue engine running that I couldnt escap from...15 mins max took the glaze off the paint * it hjas taken a lod of work to get right.
The Meguairs Ultimate seems to be the most resitant to POOH, cement dust (I work in a concrete plant) & repeated washes.
The Poorboys stuff I have always wanted to try & have only recently seen for sale in a tyre shop (Pellon Lane in Halifax)...as oppoased to mail ordering in
The elbow grease is taken care of with the machine I bought (Festool) which has a special rotary motion & honeycombe pads to eliminate holograms....it also sands hardwood floors which are a to sand & level in an olde property
My new works car (VW Golf) I am experimenting with Armorall sealant onthe pait & wheels just to se what the durability is....this is the easiest stuff to use ever...especially on not too good paint....
Iv'e been trapped in the past using what I knew & trusted...hence the experiment
My D3 - Meguairs Ultimate
XK step Meguirs step 3 Carnuba....hard work but results is immaculate...doesnt water mark
VW - Golf Armorall...this will be abused & garage forecourt washed
FL2 - Autoglym...resin & sealant...
'tother daughters Golf (in New Zealand) "Mothers" stuff..done by me 8 months ago & still beads & looks very shiny...you dont see Mothers stuff in the UK BREXIT - done properly.

Thanks for the tips If you decide to start the detailing business you can have a go on mine. Hope you'll be offering a forum\fellow Yorkshiremans discount?
