Parked up in Kings carpark and left them to it. Gave them 3hrs to wash and wax it
gotta say, im impressed. Few areas where the wax has been left on (tiny little bits) but otherwise a very good £16 spent.
Im just going to hoover the interior and clean the inside screen and i will take some snaps
so gimme half hour for some shiny pics
and the rather enormous stoppers
sorry RichH for not coming to you.. but i will be when the weather gets a bit nicer for a full on "makeover"

So's my van But then that's down to trying to keep it clean constantly - means I end up washing it in the dark quite regularly lol.
Never know, may be able to get that road trip back on track this year?!

I wasn't getting at you for not using me mate - just @ using the foreigners who like to cover your car in swirls!
Still looks good though - beast

Will be doing the wheels myself tomorrow

I don't even trust those car washes with my Fiesta
I like doing it myself though some people don't have the enthusiasm
Looks good, brakes are cool

Tell me about it. Wish he lived closer!! I don't trust even body shops to spray my door/wing/bonnet without screwing me over or doing a shite job.
Mine needs 2.5 yrs / 48k worth of swirl marks removing
Was actually thinking of just leaving it on the drive, sacking off the insurance/tax/mot and buying a new car next summer just because it would be easier
