Well, thanks for the tips, I find the way I've done it here to be easiest, a very simple job and only took an hour from leaving the front door to getting back to a cuppa, maybe 20 mins worth of actual hard work tops? Not messy at all, you get a dirty sock but you can see from the pictures it isn't particularly messy at all.
Tried other methods on various cars I've had, but this is the easiest and cheapest I've found so far, each to their own though! Here's hoping this thread serves as a good guide to those who want to try this and are curious to the options, thanks all.
I'd also like to add that there isn't any need to be so defensive about things, everyone is different, and I welcome all suggestions!

no one is being defensive and you obviously don't welcome suggestions or you wouldn't have stated the above, you suggested a long drawn out messy way of doing a job, then others suggested a quicker easier and less messy option that's hardly being harsh or defensive, you are now going to have to spend a couple of hours cleaning the mess of the drive,

I absolutely welcome suggestions, I'm not sure why you might think otherwise, the point of the forum is to share experience and tips for the car!
Not sure what you mean?
do you write poetry by any chance?
sounds like you've got it right
