I've noticed a few sorry looking examples on the roads these days too, as many people just don't consider it worth spending any money or time on them when they get knocked or scratched.

Hiya Paul. Since yesterday.....Going on into this afternoon, i have spent 9 HOURS... Cleaning and detailing my 75.Water, Clay bar, Water, shampoo, Rinsed, mild T cut, Waxed with Turtle Wax Precision Wax, Polished then finished with Turtle wax Pretective Extra Gloss Sealant... Polished to a high shine, looks mint.... 30 Quid for the wax and sealant but did my homework on the net and it came out on top, have used poor boys, autoglym, Top, Carnauba paste in the past, nothing compares with this. Link if anyone is interested...... Turtle wax have been making wax forever, think too many peeps are sucked in by exotic names.... Poppy

You can tell everything you need to know by the state of some ones car.
It is a reflection of their sole.

Hiya Poppy, so where are the piccies then!!!!

As for cleaning cars... hmmm.. Can't say it has any appeal for me. I like my car to look neat and tidy inside, and reasonably clean on the outside, but wax? polish? nahhh.. I take it to the hand car wash and have a coffee while they sort it for me.. Good innit..

As for reflecting my soul, well I doubt my soul likes cleaning cars either innit.. lol...

Question:- Why, when parked one behind the other, do weggie Blue 75s look longer than Firefrost Red ones??
