Most people seem to - not least soas you don't get dirty when you lean on the car, I will be because I'm in the Emma comp.

I might just bung it through the car wash, I've given up trying to clean it properly, pretty soon there'll be more rust than car :(

Got the car back last night :D

I'll be doing the interior soon as I get home. The exterior once it's cooled off a bit.

Might need that bug removal pad thingy if that's ok.

Don't know if you can tell from there, but are my nuts black? :D

You need the detailers spray to go with the claybar...

meguires clay bar comes with spray, its only a tenner i think.

bring it over if you want and get the jet washer on it, have a washing session, as long as you bring some bikini girls.

Going to give it a quick clean, sod polishing etc. Last year I collected bugs and the field was dusty. The car was dirty again within 30 minutes. Not going to that extreme again.

My 10 minute 5 step car washing technique. ;)

Step 1. Sling bucket of water over car.

Step 2. Cap full of Mer in bucket of water, sling over car and rub it in a bit.

Step 3. See step 1.

step 4. Drive around the block to dry off.

Step 5. Stand back and admire.

I'll be stuffed if I'm going to pay for that stuff :) I've been using a 1/10th mix of fabric conditioner and water and it works a treat. You can use anything really, including really soapy water. My car is sparkly clean now. All ready to get filthy on the way uphttp://www.talkaudio.co.uk/gallery/data/500/medium/P10100171.JPG

mines got scratches all down the passenger side where a bus scraped past and scratches on the rear bumper where i reversed into a wall :lol:

the scratches stand out more when clean but then i will have to drive about 2 - 300 miles there so im guessing my car wont be clean when i get there anyway ;)

Spent a couple of hours doing mine earlier, didn't use the shampoo this time though, a bit of Megs Quick Detailer followed by Megs Deep Crystal Polish, followed by Megs Tech Wax

Mmmmm shiny :lol:

Seeing as we're only just eating dinner, then off to the pub for a quick pint, then tuning the system, something tells me we won't get chance to wash the car. Call it a hunch if you like ;)

I didn't get the car back from the garage until turned 6pm, and then I had my mate fit a new exhaust, so I really haven't had time even though it does need a bloody good wash!
