I'm so happy we are having this nice weather it means I can get my Xavier clean and waxed more.
She's had three coats of wax now in two days.
And she now looks spanking.

Yeah the more I go round this old girl the better she gets and the more she reaches my heart, although she has a clean boot I do need to do a little rust patches her and there but she's 24 years old now so its to be expected considering she's not really been loved for most of her life.

She actually got a good looking today from some peeps who I over heard as i was walking back to her saying that she looked amazing and in wonderful condition for her age.
And they were saying they remember having one and they loved them.
Put a massive smile on my fave as i approached and they walked past me still chatting about the old bird.

I used a mixture of red colour magic and showroom shine, 3m synthetic wax and then I went over it with supagard which I have just discovered you can get on eBay it used to be a valeter only thing, its expensive but its worth it.
It's the best wax I have ever used on a red car it really gets into the red and gives it that deep shine I am going to keep using it here on, and the good thing is it has a protective layer that it leaves on the car to help prevent lime burns in the paint from bird poo and fly damage.

Bring her over one day well get her sparkling again.
I don't know why you are so desperate to be a bin man when you clearly have a talent for valeting cars. I think you should start doing it more seriously and make a few quid. Must be better than waiting to cart other peoples rubbish around?
"No the temperature gauge doesn't work........
we've driven 150 miles today........
the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

I really want to but I'm missing one thing the pressure washer if I had one I would start my own business.
Maybe I could try getting one on tab and then pay it off as i make money.

I used to wash my old cavalier every day at one point and wax her every two days lol but I was working as a valeter then and had access to a jet wash every day.
Even on my days off I used to sometimes go there for a wash and wax lol.
