Default Clean car

Spent hours on the car yesterday.

Fairy liquid for the first time (did give be palpatations to begin with!).

Zaino wash and then the old wax.

All easy to apply and take off with good results, but the time involved

And just as I finish it starts to bloody well rain.

Water beading nicely off the bodywork though.

I have to find something that gives as good results. but is less time consuming.

Wanted to put some more Z2 on today but still the rain falls

I know but it has only just stopped raining.

Give me an hour to rectify the damage done by that and I'll take some.

Been out to check and she is covered in shite, off the tree, from the rain and lots of other grime.

Looks like it will need a good rinse again, then dry, then z6, then z2 and more z6.

What a lot of flaffing about.

Or I might just let a protective layer of dirt build up and only clean it when its time for her to go.
