    V70R - clean and shiny!

    Refurbed wheels, new tyres, and some serious valeting courtesy of my dad (thanks, dad!)

    But where's the sun when you need it for the photos?

    Thanks everyone!

    I'm very happy with it now it's all working properly... makes me feel better for impulse-buying it (thanks to an understanding bank manager) those few months ago!

    Didn't even realise that it wasn't sunny cos my eyes were stuck firmly on the car. Looks absolutely fantastic!! Nicely done there.

    How much would your Dad charge VPCUK members for a full valet?

    Good question, I hadn't even begun to think. This took him two full days so it wouldn't be at the cheap end of the market, that's for sure. Having said that, he did my sister's Yaris six months ago and the finish on that is still amazingly good. I'll ask and drop you a PM when I find out.
