Havn't washed my car for a few weeks and I havn't cleaned the wheels properly in ages. It has its MOT at the weekend so I thought I best make it look presentable, may be treated nicer!

Washed with Auto Glym, Auto Glym Wheel Cleaner and Meguiars wash mit.

How do you find the AG Wheel Cleaner Marc? Always useless when I've used it, I use Megs Hot rims now, far better imo.

Edit; Lovely motor by the way.

Its alright, my wheels are anthracite so I can't use my brush though. So I just spray on, leave for a while then use a sponge or j cloth to clean off.

God damn it

Took it in for its MOT this morning, back to the same place which failed it last year (Tyres, wing indicators and part of brake pipe = £580) and I knew they were going to come back with something and fail it.

Failed it again with one point this time, part brake pipe worn, again

£55 for test and now I have to take it back to them next weekend

On another note, the main dealer lost the franchise last year but I kept taking it there due to the staff being the same and them still doing the servicing and my car has been serviced there since new. They've now being bought out by a differant company and will just be a Skoda dealership. Saab have taken on the Subaru franchise so now I have an official dealership to go to again.

Im sure £55 is more than they are allowed to charge. Think the limit is £50.35?
