    can you really spray fast glass on the paintwork?? I have some of that!!

    I washed it yesterday and yes the error of my ways was indeed revealed!! It was hard going and my back is really stiff today from the effort - serves me right! It's not a perfect job so I might have another little hot soak. I thought sponges were amongst the banned items list, no?!

    yes I have a kinda spray end bit Neil, so I'll try to be more diligent. I do get Craig to do a 6 monthly wax and seal up so hopefully that's enough.

    the other news is that on top of all the football created scratches I found a small dent on one side of the bonnet luckily it's only visible from certain angles with the right light...but even so
