    Cheers everyone for their kind comments. All except Alan, of course.

    Craig, this was probably the only two day period in the entire year when I (Lenore) didn't have something else planned for me on at least one of the days, so just luck really.

    Stephen, Lenore didn't touch the red MINI. In fact after 1 1/2 days hard work she had the audacity to come out, look at it and say; "Very nice, but I thought it looked fine before"

    Spray the Tardis, sounds just what I need although I could dab the AG Glue & Tar......but using a spray so much better....

    If say you were inside doing the dials what would you use......anal i know but its clear plastic I take it, blooming swirls on my one.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    What's the difference in the two sets of photos.

    A) 1 red MINI

    B) 1 red MINI

    But, Crombers, the B) MINI is sooo much cleaner and shinier and smoother and lovely looking than the A) MINI.

    When you say inside doing the dials, are you talking about the instrumentation on the dash? If so, I wouldn't use Tardis on that. Waaay to strong. Maybe some G101 diluted 1:20 and a microfiber cloth.
