Default Must be sheer hard work and dedication.

Looking at the galleries it seems a lot of cars are pristine or showroom condition. Did you all buy your cars like this? Is it hard work and effort? Love my car but it's not perfect. It has light scratches, stone chips etc. I would dearly love to have a re-spray and start afresh, maybe one day I'll do that. Anyway, well done to you all for preserving such a fine car.
Heddy.

Didn't you know that all our cars are absolutely pristine and if you can't be bothered putting at least 10hrs per week washing and buffing then this forum ain't for you

Back to planet reality my Cdti has so many stone chips that I'm now seeking a solar red donor bonnet. Then I've got to think of the other panels . The ZTT has paint oxidisation and the alloys are in poor order so basically enjoy the car and keep it in good order and the cosmetics are a nice to do if you have the time

Now that is not true & you know it - I saw your car last week at Harewood & a couple of weeks ago at the Hollow tree charity event & I would say it had been washed on both these occasions

Aah, but had it rained?

Jimbob puts more effort into putting as little effort into anything he does than he puts into anything else.
