That still looks factory fresh!!!! in fact better!

How often do you wash it buddy? I find living in apartments it's sometimes difficult to get in the car park to give it a wash when its full.... I can't wait to have a drive! :D

The cream interior is stunning! :thumbup:

Thanks Leon and the car on average gets what I call a 'Mini Detail' every week, this week however it may have to get over looked....... :(

I know how you feel, I was also living in a block of Apartments / Flats and reosrted to using the gardener's hose and buckets up and down the stairs to was it back in the day, I think that's where some of the RDS marks have come into play over the years...... :doh:

Used them before on previous motor's just not my own but also have big expectations for durability, we have plenty on test on the dooka van so it's nice to 'real word' test these products........ :thumbup:

I'm looking forward to the updates buddy!

Thinking I will do some kind of 'wash' log on DW to keep people updated ;)

Thats a cracking idea mate, will keep an eye out on there. Not been on DW for ages, been using the cleanyourcar forum for a few years. A lot of info to get through on DW and I spend too much time online for the wifes liking

It's a minefield and I just keep it to a minimum of I can ;)

What's RDS? :no: ... I'd love to get to know all the bits and bobs that you use! I guess it varies from person to person

At the moment I use 2 buckets of water with a saucepan! I find I can rinse it off easily and do a panel at a time, followed by a microfiber dry and work around the car, this way I can control how much water I use, with a normall noodle sponge and a warm bucket of water!

I'll hopefully give mine a damn good clean on Monday when I get my new wheels fitted! Time to get into the arches, and scrub everything!! :)

RDS stands for Random Deep Scratches........ :thumbup:

New wheels sound good, you got a thread going with some progress of your motor then?

Will check it out........ :thumbup:

Cheers!

Skoda did well with the arches on the MK1 Octy and Superb look great with nice rimmage!!! B)

Really enjoyed the full-thread on the other site. Never have I seen a beige car look so good!

Top marks kind sir B)

Checked out the full thread on the site that must not be mentioned, looks well Si, like new in fact. Nice work.

Still have my land blimp too, can't believe it's coming up to being 10 years old. They last well if treated every now and then huh? Hope you're well mate.
