I havent had chance to do anything with my car today. This crap weather has been relentless. But she's pretty clean anyway, the nice men at RT's cleaned it for me yesterday!!

I've bought a couple of bottles of Meguiars Speed Detailer. So if this friggin rain has buggered off by tomorrow, i'll give it a going over with that stuff when were there.

spent about 4 hours faffing around with the top engine mount - who said it was simple! - thought at one stage i wasnt gonna get it on! - Dropped a piece of the old one down the back of the engine somewhere - cant locate it and it smokes when the engine is hot!

Gave the car a quick clean but will re-do and polish etc tomorrow!

I may help and provide pointers but I doubt I will be inclined to be polishing out any of them - principally coz we will have no mains supply.

I battled all day to buy a gazebo so I could finish mine - but everywhere was sold out. So washed it in the rain and found an abandoned garage forecourt (with the roof bit still in place) and used that. Was able to glaze, seal and wax in just under 3 hours. Would have been swifter but there was no elecy.
