    we actually told a mate that his Rover will go faster if he waxed it because it'll cut thru the air better lol. Car washing takes effort, which i don't like lol

    Trust me, if you get her to a point where its spankingly clean and you have the correct protection it should only take you about 30 mins to clean her. Make sure you have a snow foam gun, spray all over, jet wash off, use the 2 bucket method and jet off again. If you have plenty of wax on her you should be able to dry her with a hose pipe and then use something like megs last touch to top up the wax content

Although she's several shades of white, peppered with dings an has tape on the roof because the bunged-up holes the plod left in it let in water, ive done 500 miles since (ace cafe meet and commuting) she's still sparkley and rain and mud just roll of well, thats it for another 6 months lol.
