    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

    I can only echo what the Aviator dude said! I'd be scared to drive anywhere after that!

    Nice job, always nice to see someone taking that extra step and cleaning the side of the alloys too always makes a nice difference

    indeed, have to agree.

    I've got the Medusa alloys... can't get hand through... very difficult from back. Have to take the wheels off to get to them. Shame tbh.

    products, umm, got a few but been trying the autoglym for dark cars (ultimate showroom shine or something) then Maguiars carnauba wax, autoglym wheel polish, authglyn fast glass, zymol on the bonnet (trying it out) ... oh, and a fair bit of elbow grease.

    interior has vinyl and rubber care by autglyn, as do the tyres, autogyln leather care and williams f1 / turtle shampoo for carpets.
