Cleaned my car today with the dodo juice products I bought from Rich H

Before (it was much dirtier just didnt get pictures right before) :


After:









P.S I never got round to doing the alloys, that shall be tomorrows task, might even get the wheels off and give the insides a good blast

Again big thanks to rich for all his advice and the products

Is the bonnet staying black or are you getting a green one?

Well that's down to taste, isn't it. Maybe you think it's gay but if he likes it or is using it to prevent paint damage (and now cover it up ) then that's what matters.

looks tidy mate, and imo, standard post 97 flaps look best ( even tho mine dont sit right lol )

and as for the bonnet bra, it aint gay, looks good on your car,

they're kinda growing on me, but not sure if it would suit mine lol
