  • Lockdown clean

    Thought I would use the last day of the good weather and my day off and give her some love. Washed, Clayed, Polished and Sealed. First time I’ve ever gone to such extents to clean my car, but very pleased with the results! I reckon if I had a machine polisher it could have turned out much better.

    There are still a couple of thick tar spots near drivers front wheel arch which I just couldn’t shift with the clay I had, so need to address that again, but overall very happy, it took me just under 9 hours which I honestly was not expecting. Just hoping the rain heading this way doesn’t ruin my hard work too much!

      Looks like you got more tar on those wheels than what there is on the road .

                            It's only retaliation because of your intolerance of anything different.
