Ed - they are far from my finest stripes in Tom's mats as they were improvised at the end

Steve - If you are looking towards end of March, you may want to look at getting something booked, March is rapidly filling up in the diary mate!

Cheers Doug!

Have to say, the video does seem to have been quite popular - it's had over 400 hits Website is quite active atm too

DW didn't seem to like it much compared to my usual write ups, but never mind!

a detailer documents brushing his teeth....

After initial inspection and taking plaque readings I set about my my teeth with a medium bristle Oral-B detailing brush, agitating between the cracks using the back-and-forth method. I repeated this step 20 times using a colgate cleaning paste (paid 100x its actual value and selected for its nice colour). I rinsed with low pressue tap water from the shiney chrome dispensor.

I finished of with 10 applications of Listerene mouthwash from a silver plated tumbler.

Cheers mate. 1 day hey?!

AK - I get your joke, but I think if you read my thread or watched the video you'd realise I don't BS market what I do or over elaborate simple stages to make them sound more complicated There's quite a distinct difference between what I do and what your £5 pikey wash can achieve.

that's a touch dirty sunshine! Good to hear it's all still working ok - did you notice how quickly water sheets off the car leaving you a lot less to dry off?

Noticed how many hits the YouTube video has had btw?!
