Chris Wilson Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I am off on a track day at Anglesey tomorrow, just removed the mouse traps and the mouse bait blocks, steamed off most of the green algae from the body trim seams, and the heaviest of the winter's muck, and wiped a fairly clean hole in the dirt on the inside of the windscreen. Found the wiper blades all perished, so reluctantly treated it to 2 new ones. Tie wrapped a few instruments in place, that'll do now, you guys get too carried away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Well I have just wash mine in between the drizzle showers. What's annoying is it's not even rain rain, just enough to put a damp surface, so I can't polish and wax it Grrrrrr. Hoovering, put the windscreen wiper arms back on and put the spoiler back on and that's as good as it's going to get in this weather:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
