    A mate of mine has asked me to clean his car. Now the car I was told is sound but had not moved or started in about a year. Well I wasn't sure what to expect but I did not expect this. I hope the pics show just how bad this car is.


    Got the week to sort this out as best as I can. To add to this the passenger and rear windows don't work, and the brakes are shot, so need to get them off and have a look. Engine sounds sweet though very quiet.


    Oh yeh there is grass growing in the boot.


    Kinda wishing I hadn't offered.


    Oh yeh Craig do you fancy returning the favour mate

    You cant do much when things are broke or missing, even when clean that wing mirror would still do my head in, but if its just a disgusting car I think there is more reward in getting it clean over say a nearly clean car.

    A proper wash and I mean I’d foam that with G101 twice would make a difference.


    Good luck to you sir, it’s a mighty task that’s no mistake.

    Reminds me of a friends XR2 years ago, there was this smell and found a Kebab and my mate said I don’t think I’ve had one in six months…and he drove in this every day to his work with the window down…total class Smell in the car window down and don’t bother investigating what’s under months of rubbish in the back.
    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!

    Cheers Stewart, it certainly is a huge. I found one wing mirror cover under the seat, so I hopefully can source a second one. This is however the least of my worries. Got the G101 there so do I use that in my snow foam lance, and at what concentration?
