    I didn't. If I have time tomorrow morning before work I'll take some then, and post up tomorrow night when I get home.

    Update 25th October!

    After two weeks I'm pleased to say our arches are looking like brand new. Just gave the car a good detailing today along with it's monthly Diamondbrite treatment and the car is looking absolutely cracking. There is absolutely NO SIGN of the white marks reappearing. It has been fairly dry the past couple of weeks, but we have had a wee bit of rain on some days as well as lots of dew in the mornings - and the car looks as good as new. Very happy with the results.

    And, finally, some piccies to feast your eyes on....

    Did them a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have time today - Mrs P had a list of jobs for me to do now we're back from the caravan.

    I used the Autoglym Bumper Care on the side walls - did the job!

    Lenore got it out yesterday. I knew the Tesco clubcard thingy you get for your car keys would come in handy one day.

    OK...That's what I use just now...and I think its crap.....it doesn't last days...or even one wash!

    So...what do other people use on the sidewalls?

    I was going to try peanut oil...and see if that worked

    Thanks
