Right, my cars been 3 weeks without a clean. Usually I wash and wax it every week but of late just couldnt be arsed. But today I just couldnt bare the dirt anymore so it got the full treatment inside and out.  BEFORE     AFTER     Just a cheeky one of mine with Playboyb's being stripped out in the background  And now a cheeky reflection shot.  Hope you all approve. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Please get a phase 3 wiper blade, it makes it look like it's owned by a tramp. I've told you this before. Worst case scenario nick one off an original style Picasso. Other than that looks good.

Yeah pete, sam was stripping his car out with his bird and I was gona clean mine at my house then sam said he was at his yard and I could use the jet washer. So popped down, cleaned mine and just helped with the awkward bits of the stripping. Timewise heidi, only takes 45mins mate. Over the run up to xmas I put 10 layers of nattys paste wax on it and now pretty much nothing sticks too it anymore. Plus I use that showroom shine stuff after each wash to de-streak it. Gave the exhaust a polish and just hoovered the inside and dash shined it. Thug... I will change the blade for the correct before pugfest, it gets on my nerves too.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Mine covers over 1000 miles a month though, a lot of which through country lanes too. Hence it gets caked in shit all the time. Poor old thing. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

The car looks clean but you missed the wheels - they're still covered in brake dust.  ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans. I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |

The drivers seat is f*cked. Hence why I have not added photo's of the inside...
