Kazz, good mot thoughts being sent your way
Thats the good thing and bad thing about winds I think of them as the "clean out" of nature.


Sounds good regards the dogs I know they suss out character.

And yes we have named most of our cars, my Mercedes Sprinter van was 'Molly' (I sold her lastyear) and our current Peugeot Partner is known as 'Flo'


I know but when you get looked at for the state of your car by the mechanic you know it ain't good. Got to say no my favourite thing car cleaning..........

Funny you should say that my neighbour over the way just stopped me and said her hubby "Alec" is in suffering with his tinnitus he swears it is weather realated too.....maybe it is. A build up of pressure sort of thing.

Just walked Amber and there a large bough of a tree down across the green and it was starting to rain again. To be honest if the wind persists I don't fancy the chances of our new fence. They cut large pieces of concrete off the posts rather than go deeper with the poles, so it is going to weaken the fence against strong winds.

I use auto glym shampoo and dependent on the colour of car either a dark gloss polish or just the autoglym polish. I was the car with a 2bucket method, squeegee the excess water off and then use a chamois, allow the car to dry, apply the polish and depending on how energetic i feel i either buff off by hand or use my electric polisher. If it's an older car and the plastic bumper caps are black but faded out i use black scuff remover ( shoe polish) on there and also the black rubbing strips, inside i hoover the carpets, spray with a carpet cleaning foam and hoover again, for the dash i used a cickpit shine spray and also use that on seat surrounds and plastic door casings, fabric seats get a hoover and a spray with a fabric refresher, leather seats are hoovered and then treated with a leather cleaner / restorer. Wheels are cleaned with soapy water and individual spokes/splines are cleaned to remorall brake dust, tyres have tyre black dressing applied. Glass is cleaned using autoglym fast glass
