This is why I hand clean my Rover.....
Decided to give the old girl a good clean today, after all it's got a couple of months of british weather plastered all over her..... Took me 3 hours, this included all the trims and gully's,wheel hubs cleaned ... looking good..... I do know that on the roof on the rear nearside corner I have a little bit of bubbly rust, noticed it when I bought the car a year ago.... but whilst cleaning I noticed a very small crack between two rust bubbles. Have found out my Capt.Tolley's and after the school run this afternoon will be applying.
God knows what would have happened if a jet wash was used on that area, hence my forever stance on always hand clean the car.

Yup, done all the door jams too, not forgetting boot lid (inside) found couple scuffs didn't realise I had despite parking car well away from pedestrian routes in car parks, always get some dumb muppet walking between the cars with a multitude of bags flailing about on their arms.

I only do a 'contactless wash' now to eliminate swirls etc,the car had a full decontamination n paint correction a while ago,no need to 'hand wash' mine for the foreseeable future,all it gets now is a snow foam n rinse off with a pressure washer at my pals garage,paint work is smooth as silk n want to keep it that way.
