I think you said it in jest but it was a perfectly valid point - those things can cost a few hundred quid, and (depending on age), an old Astra isnt going to be worth much (the tat stuck to it doesnt make a difference)

I did say in jest, I didn't mean the Astra was worth £60. :p

As you've said (and I said above), the bras can cost rather a lot. :)

I'd still say to face, as you said, it's in jest and I'm a cheeky sod. :D

People tend to buy tattier cars with a view to getting £££ knocked off these days, so you'll probably have a hard tme shifting it for much more if you come to it.
 
Was at the driving range and it was a nice day so why not. ;)

Going to probably be taking it off as I have a bit of rust that I need to sort out. I think it would look a lot better with just the white pinstripe down the side. Though I am trying to think about the best way to take it off with leaving any nasty marks or anything like that.

Got any tips? :)

Not really, people said the exact same when I sold my old car and I got 3k for it but only because it was in great condition else I'd have gotten 2.8k or less.

People will pay a bit more for something well looked after.
 
I use stuff that sees through a full year at the very least so not much!

- Collinite 476s wax seal: £15
- Autoglym Super Resin Polish: £8
- Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection: £8
- Bilberry alloy cleaner (mix with water and spray on): £9
- Snow foam: £15
- Chemical guys trim gel: £10
-- £65 for over a years worth of weekly washing :p well less since the waxes and seals are only applied every few months so thay could eaisly last 2 years.
 
Why?

My wash cycles are no different to anyone elses, I just do it with a little more attention to detail...
 
Firstly it was a tongue in cheek comment, seccondly you seem to polish it every five minutes or thats how you come accross in the detailing thread.

Notwithstanding you also seem to wash it a great deal more than the average punter.

Oh I see.

I wash every weekend unless it's raining or going to rain for sure in which case I skip it until the following weekend.

I polish/wax every few months.

My paint is in most excellent condition.

FWIW I'm not an average punter so you being surprised I wash more than one of those people is a surprise in itself :p

How much have you spent on cleaning products and man hours on that thing though ;)
