    You really have a 'thing' about polishing your car BM! :D Nice to see everything so shiny!

    Have you tried the new car spray 'Proshine' They say you don't have to wash your car before you polish it - think this was shown on Tomorrows World. Shines nicely I agree but I still wash the car first .

    I always prewash ;)

    If you have a foam gun, pressure washer and an inline filter you don't even have to touch a semi dirty car to wash it.

    Did you get a new car after ?

    jj, you do get younger every time I see you! [​IMG]

    I think a car should shine, inside and out, including the engine (brakes .... hmmmmm), but no can do here in one's wildest dreams!

    I'm just jealous! [​IMG]

    "Did you get a new car after ?"

    Yes I did BM, well almost new, just 611 miles on the clock -the only one (and I tried many) where my legs were long enough to reach the pedals :D
    Daughter tells me I now have no street cred as it's the 'new' mini used by chavs and boy racers.
    Well I only need to go shopping and short distances.

    Looks good, cheap to insure and has a tried and tested 1.3 EFI engine. We had one for a while but the top speed is only 93 MPH and I kept contradicting the handbook ;) The only down side to them is the boot isn't quite big enough for a proper shop and you have to use the back seats. As I remember the stereo and shape of the inside is a nice combination to make your ears bleed and the air con, if you have it, is instant in the round interior. Good choice me thinks.

    Polished the other car today, super smooth :D

    Babe, question ... where do you drive at only 93mph?

    I've been gone a while, what is the motorway speed now? and are the boys in blue not looking out for you?

    I still think we should buy KITT, don't you? [​IMG]
