    The car probably ran away scared - not knowing what was going on with all the foam and water and cleanliness!

    Frankly i'm stunned at the level of cleanliness
    I had thought that i was keeping on top of removing the bird crap, but, sadly there are several places where the paint is damaged, would need a polisher methinks.

    So Crombers, you're in charge of the Manky Club now
