Just thought I'd share this with you.

obviously this was only after a wash, but not bad for a 20 year old car eh?

Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

Go on, try it, you might like it!

I even got a compliment off a valeter today which is 9 days after the good clean up and she still looks mint.

Go on, impress us, clean it properly THEN take some pics  (looks like a right dog in the first pic )

Mike

P.S. Glad you put it in the right section anyway!

What?! Cars are for driving!

Mind you I do prefer to Drive a Clean car - but wash & wax, that's it!

no point in point in poncing about if you use the car - that's for garage queens

No, it's called DETAILING & CAR CARE Which means you detail AND care, not one or the other. I think this thread should be removed for you breaking the rules

sorry, I read it to mean Detailing & (also) Car Care as opposed to Detailing &=with Car Care, so two seperate subjects, not one.

 

(but as you've accused me of being a Detailer  since I admitted to using a toothbrush to help clean the wheels it really doesn't matter anymore - does it?)

Once it is dry, then maybe you should consider looking up one of the site sponsors Here and get some detailing liquids and microfibre cloths for that tired old M3 (as well as yourself)  

Hey! you never know, you might even spend more time cleaning the car than driving and enjoy it.. (like some on here..ROTFL)

(no she'll never be a garage queen, maybe a Garage Princess)
