Here's mine at 90,000 miles!

Plenty of gentle hand cleaning/washing with PB All purpose cleaner (AG engine cleaner and tar remover for the tough stuff), Megs NXT shampoo, dry and spritz with PB bold and bright.

As a warning its VERY easy to overdo the water and bugger the electrics!

Yeah I've had the scuttle trim off many times to clean there! have to be careful around the ECU and heater assembly underneath though!

Cheers for the compliments! I just like keeping things standard but clean.

Have you seen Claire's?

I dont think Mylo would be best pleased if I did, Dave.....

haha,how did i miss this thread.....and as for him being bothered the words of something about buying him a pint first just came out his mouth

my bay currently looks like a mudbath usually just give it the elbow grease treatment,cba with that at the moment that's for sure! the dent in my wing is really pissing me off n messing with my car mojo man!

 

[Brummy]

ask him if he means the Welsh stuff, Claire
