Default Made the most of a sunny day

I thought that because today was nice and sunny not only would I wash the car, but I also cleaned out the inside and gave it a nice wax.

Took some photos, but the best of the sun had gone by the time I got round to it.

What do you think?

One with the Iron Duke in the background and reflected on the bonnet

And a seasonal pic

I made the most of it this morning and gave it a coat of Glasur.......by hand (rather than pad)

I glad the neighbours were not around as they already think im daft but the sight of me running my hands over the panels would of tipped them over the edge

Nice Job,
I made the most of the sunny day and chopped logs. No fun that.

I am known to run my hands over the freshly waxed panels also, it feels really good. A job worth doing, I wash the car every week and when it rains the water still beads but wanted to give it a top up before the winter gets a grip

Cleanin cars aint my idea of a good way to spend a sunny day..

Took the lil dog for a walk down by the river, went to a friends allotment to admire his new coy carp..

Called in to hear one of my ole mates rehearsing with his new band..They were rubbish -- heh heh.. Singer can't sing, and the drummer is too LOUD innit..

Chatted to my next door neighbors over the fence. Noticed my car was getting dirty, went for a nice lie down..

Glasur is one of my faves at the moment. It looks and applies like Vintage, hopefully we be close for durability.
