Sounds a bit posh

Would have been perfect, that. Never mind mate - cheers anyway :)
It is indeed a bit posh Paul, which is why they insist you bring the car in clean. So today I've been busy.
Started off with a rinse and then Autobrite snow foam:

Rinsed, and foamed again, and then used Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild shampoo; after that I hit the Dodo Juice Clay Mit with Born Slippy to get it back down to the bare paint. Then I applied 2 layers of Super Resin Polish and finished with a coat of Dodo Juice Purple Haze wax.
Unfortunately the sun had well and truly gone down by the time I was finished, so these are the only pics you'll get :wack:
Many reflections in the roof:

Tomorrow's list is:
1 finish the wheels off (just found my Autoglym wheel cleaner :wack: )
2 clean the glass inside and out with Autobrite diamond brite
3 vacuum carpets / mats
4 clean leather seats with Porsche leather cleaner
5 apply Renapur leather feed to the seats dash
Who said owning a nice car was easy.
I think the 996 shape is looking ever better with age.
I agree. I know it upset the purists but it was a great design then, and is now, for me, the best of both worlds.
It's modern but not fat like the 997 onwards became.
I like the 997 as well, probably my favourite, I'd take a 996 over anything that came after 997, especially with the electric steering.
Thing is a 911 should be under 50" high and all the water cooled ones are over that.
Sounds like they ain't supposed to be under 50" high.
Into storage. And now I have the sads :(

Nearly done. Few more weeks I suspect. Missing my car and bikes badly TBH. Hadn't realised how much they keep me sane (ish).
Loving the glass worktops lol
Nice place to make a pot noodle that is for sure:thumbs:
Kitchen looks great mate.
Bit of advice. If you want to take the old wax off first. Isopropyl Alcohol rinse ;)
Minor update. Finally got the car back out of storage on Saturday - yay :)

Back where it belongs. In the garage, cos I never drive it :wack:
Oh apart from today, when I did drive it, up through the Maldon lanes to Tollesbury for a little walk in the country. Drove at about 7 tenths on the way there; got told off by the missus. Drove at 4 tenths all the way home; didn't get rewarded with a thank you. May as well be 8 tenths everywhere then :p

It's good to be back.
