I never use a car wash, over a period of time, they damage the paint work.

You never offered to wash the diesel for me...

I wonder what you could do to clean up that engine bay :P

I cleaned up the viscous fan, and the fan cover, what more do you want? :-?

 ;D ;D
Polish the rocker covers, clean the brake fluid bottle, clean the coolant tank, clean the.......  ;D

Ok, take them off and post them to me..... ;)

Ive got to admit I have cheated. I took the car to the ARC car wash in Northwich and left it with them to buff it up and give it a wax and its turned out amazing and all for £45 :y
