First thing I did when I brought the T5 last year was clean the years of grease and grime from the door shuts and I've kept them clean and tidy ever since. Makes a huge difference too, there's nothing worse than opening door on a car to a thick layer of oil, grime and dust!

Looking very smart now bud, nothing quite like cleaning all the crap off to reveal nice shiny paint underneath is there?

Another day well spent Gav, underneath all the grease that paintwork is in great condition.

By the way Gav, you're as bad as me for detailing the car, I've waxed and detailed mine so much over the past couple of weeks I've lost count. Are you using that Meguire's Ultimate Wax on your paint? I'm using it and some Gold Class Quick Detailer plus some Caranuba Wax and it's all worth every penny! I'm going to try their Ultimate Quick Detailer when I get paid next because I think if the Ultimate Wax is anything to go by, the Quick Detailer will be absolutely awesome stuff!
