Clean at last . . .
« on: 26 August 2013, 10:11:34 »
My '03 MV6 3.2

It's afew few month since I bought this. The previous owner had dogs and horses and lived in the country etc, so it was really dirty, full of dog hair and mud, and stank. After the recent meet in Wycombe Ianu infected me with the dreaded car cleaning disease. I found myself compelled to go to Halfords and buy some T-Cut, and worse, to actually use it  :o

This is the result. The car is still covered with small scratches, particularly where the dogs have been jumping into the back. And there is still quite a doggy smell inside, but I'm getting there  :y

By the way, I don't dislike dogs, in fact I'm quite a doggy person   :)

The missing bit of front bumber was thanks to being hit by a truck tyre tread on a motorway  >:(

Now I like a challenge - and silver is also not my favourite colour - but I'm curious to know if it's possible to get it looking better than just shiny light grey. Volunteer silver wing required for the next meet then  :P
