    Well I done about 2 hours last night and was up at the crack of dawn today.


    10 hours of solid toil on the car and I have had enough. The thing is my wife reminded me I am doing this as a favour so I have taken it up to a point where it can sell.


    This really was a nightmare I actually can't tell you how bad it really was.


    Anyway removed all the carpets and power washed them, then using a vax machine dried them.


    It got no less than 6 washes with G101 which finally removed all the muck.


    The rest was pure elbow grease, I used the G101 near neat to remove the mold from the inside.


    The wheels were done using glue and tar remover plus G101 again, tyres with Begs tyre Gel.


    Windows done with AG's fast glass.




    Anyway very tired and weary I have taken a few pics, going to my bed now I think.




    I took It along and they are delighted with the results which I have to say I am myself too. TBH it could have done with a machine polish but I have probably spent £20 on products already so it got a once over with dodo juice purple haze.


    PLEASE LOOK AT THE BEFORE PICS AGAIN FIRST
