It was a bit hard with a seized engine, sitting on gravel. the car had to be towed out of the yard with a vanCavyman_130 wrote:what if you move it away from the wall and find rust or other horrible things

Only thing wrong is the bubble on the front passager door is bigger and a small bubble on the stone chip on the bonnet. I'll sort the bonnet for pod, but the door might still be there. just take photos from the other side

Oh and getting insurance cheap enough! thats my job next week.

OMG no wayyyyyyyyyy. I'd never use one of those car washes. I'm a lazy sod when it comes to washing my car, but i'd rather do it myself than use one of them. Shame on you squiggletSquig wrote:I've cheated outragously for 8 mths... sainsbury's car wash![]()

Re: Car Polish/Wax
those car washes should be burned to the ground, they do horrible damage to your cars paintwork

Re: Car Polish/Wax

Re: Car Polish/Wax
go on cleanandshiny.co.uk or .com cant mind which one, and look for meguiars swirl remover 2.0, its under the polish section, that will remove most of your scratches, its good stuff. personally I would never use T-cut as it puts more scratches on your paint than you take out

When u've nackered the microfibre cloth don't go and buy more meguiars micro fibre clothes....
Pop to a decent store like 'wilkinsons' and buy some there, just the same but less expensive.

Re: Car Polish/Wax
good tip about wilkinsons
