The back door hasn't been washed, btw, no need to overdo things  ;D

Is that your new Astra?. Presumably you CBA to clean up the dog-snotter Astra estate they gave you £2000 for as a P/E.

Looks presentable enough. :)

The stuff I used is for putting the colour back into faded paint, the rest of the car isn't faded. It's my new mobile dog kennel, so I really don't give a shit  :)
