Scrubs up well...

Decided I better clean the car today, well overdue for a wash and I want it looking it's best when I present it for it's MOT (due in the next couple of weeks).

Took the opportunity to do a few jobs too, checked all the liquids, checked the plenums (nice and dry), re-stuck my front number plate and just generally pottered around, which was nice.

Started with.....

Gave it a good clean and found I actually have silver wheels....

After a quick sarnie break, I broke out the wax and gave it a coat which will hopefully see it through the winter.

I bought some AutoGlym Engine Degreaser a while ago which I have been wanting to try after hearing some positive reviews - it did not disappoint. I only gave it a quick try, once summer returns one of the things I want to do is really smarten up the engine bay and get it to the point where it only requires minimum maintenance.

All that remains is to give the interior a quick freshen up tomorrow, ran out of time today.

Well done indeed, and glad it passed, and it does look very clean and tidy

Fancy popping over and doing mine
