Gave the lanky Yaris it’s first wash since new today (Over 4000 miles) of winter grime build up.
It came up well considering I didn’t use the pressure washer which would have made life easier, didn’t pay much attention to arches as with no pressure that was a losing battle.
Costs about £36-39 to fill up and manages 400 miles, impressed with the Hybrid aspect of it.

Haha I get you man. I have a Pug e2008 for similar purposes so my life is equally going down the pan@dLockers
You can’t tell me that it isn’t perfect for the nursery and school runs I have fast approaching
I’ll even blend in with the double yellows.

Quick clean today as the weather has been lovely
I’m always surprised how good the metal polishing soap is compared to a standard APC like Surfex HD, even when said APC is high strength.
Unfortunately, the previous owner didn’t look after the exhaust, and the chrome has corroded/carbon has baked in.
Surfex HD + Wash

NOT NOW KATO! I'm busy!!
Having a blast from the past with some polish from the 1990's... MER!
God it's good stuff.
My dad has had a bottle of MER Polish for years.
Everytime he spotted any marks he would come out with a rag and this stuff.
