Smile Spend 4 hours cleaning my car!
I went mad this weekend and spent 4 hours cleaning my car. It was the most comprehensive exterior valet that I've done and it was really satisfying.

I got rid of all the tar and road film and polished then waxed the body work (only certain areas needed polishing!) I'll post up some pics later when my camera has finished downloading them! I'm well pleased with how the alloy wheels came up.

Whats the longest time you've ever spent on your cars exterior?

If anyone's volunteering then feel free to get in touch. I can make payment in kind by way of home made wine and silly 'over the top size' steak and kidney pasties

Does the wine double up as bug and tar remover?

PHOTOS OF MY CLEAN ARE UP! I was so impressed I put them in the Gallery!

If my wine were sold as road fuel it'd be outlawed. COme to think of it, wasn't Bicko after some Octane booster?
