Jings, I just used turtle wax 2 in 1 wash and wax. £4.99 for super concentrated bottle. And that's only because I got told off for using Aldi's own washing up liquid!

Because it looks so much better even when it's manky?

Uh, don't listen to them Ali, they are just being VX snobs.

BTW, my sister says she washes my nephews' lego in the cutlery section of the dishwasher, so I guess fairy liquid will be just fine for it.

I'd actuall love a VX, better than this Diesel Passat I'm running about in! I'm just jealous

Back in the 90's I washed a company Cavalier in fairy liquid on a weekly basis, it really f---ked up the paint work, apparently washing up liquid softens the paint work. It sure made a right mess on mine, ended up with a matt finish.

Hope you didn't use it for too long !!!

Cheers

Cheers, no I've only washed it a couple times anyway! If it's lucky it might get a wee rinse tomorrow

What, you've washed it already !!!. ( OK my hose was frozen)

Can I bring the Exige over so you can show me how that "Clay mitt" thingy works.

Great day out, although a bit slippy in the shaded area's.

Hi Tut,

It was a real spur of the minute thing, I was still in bed having a long lye in on my last day before going back to work when I got a text from Martin and he said he was heading out. I asked if he wanted company so it was a case of out of bed and straight into car to meet him in Westhill. We were only out for a few hours as we both had to be home for our other halves.

[martins]

Tut. We thought of you once we got to the Lecht...It really was a last minute job...and a strait run to the Lecht and back after a feast of sausage egg and chips....good luck re the pending situation...m
