Nearly a year already


Recommended Posts

 Can't believe that's nearly a year since picking up the isf. Unfortunately it means service,  mot, tax and insurance are all due the same month lol.  

Main thing is that I still can't think of another car I'd rather have at the moment. Every drive still feels like a big event and I love the fact nobody seems to know what it is as a newish Audi S4 found out the hard way the other week :-)

So I was inspired by the detailing thread to spend some time with the Claybar, Autglym super resin polish and a coat of R222 wax to get her ready for the decent weather. Takes ages but satisfying all the same. The amount of crap the clay bar finds always amazes me.

Had you thought of paying for your insurance on  a monthly basis. It always seem less painless to me.

Yeah and the same with the road tax as well but i really grudge giving them the interest.

That's an amazing job Mike. I'd be kidding myself if I say that I'll have a go at doing something similar within the next couple months...I'd just either get bored, do a bad job, go to the pub instead or be asked to change nappies...lol!

Link to the wax i'm using.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/r222-carnauba-wax/prod_357.html

It seems to get good reviews but the finish doesn't last that long. I'll probably try something else once its finished but there's hundreds of different makes out there.
