Default Had her cleaned up yesterday

Took her to my usual car wash centre and had a £10 job.

Im amazed how well she comes up with nothing more than a soapy wash, a shammy and a bit of tyre shine.

Looks a decent job. I had you as the car cherishing type that youd be doing it yourself though!

I live in a flat so its difficult. To much running up and down stairs and no outside tap.

I take it to an Autoglym place: Professional Car Wash and Valet Service in Birmingham

I have used them since they opened, you get a great service from them.

I do finish the work after they have done there's once back at home.

Looks good but what protection is on the paintwork? Can't stop the cringe feeling, sorry

Take it your like me then and have better things to do than to waste 8 hrs of your weekend doing it yourself.....

Just hope that your £10 included the 2 bucket method and a micro-fibre wash mit thing to produce such stunning results !!!!

I will be interested to see the pics of this when I get home this evening as I am guessing for £10 the wash process is not that great?!?!?!?
