Might be worth checking..... Just in case. 😄
I am old enough to remember an ancient candid camera feature, where they removed the engine from a car, an let it roll down a hill to a garage at the bottom of the hill. The mechanic was asked to come out and take a look as the engine wouldn't start. He was somewhat confused.

Oh whaddya know, I just looked and it's on youtube.

These are a great watch. You'd have to question peoples reactions today.... Probably not quite so polite. It was all Beadle when I was a lad.

Nice sunny day thought a cheeky quick polish was in order Meguiar's Quick wax... Meguiar's Hot Shine Tyre dressing not an all out detail but results are good enough for now..

More attention to the Fiesta today.

The Puma is patiently waiting it’s turn (next week if the weather is good enough)

Not a fan of red, but, that looks really nice.

I know.... :roll:

Next week is Puma week if the weather holds out, especially as I want to try out a new glaze and wax.

Being the good husband I am, I've just spent 4 hours decontaminating the bosses Mazda2. I was quite surprised seeing as it hasn't been touched through the winter.

Washed, magma'd, clayed, washed again, 🐢 wax hybrid sealant to protect, rubber and vinyl treated and glass polished.

I spotted some defects that will need the machine on, that's for another day.

I'm knackered.....
