A specific leather brush would probably be better, though i'd guess a soft toothbrush would work as long as you go slow!
What have you done to your car today?

‘Shoe’ brushes are usually available in lots of high street/supermarket shops. Wilko used to do one for £1 that was identical to branded ones from detailing suppliers.

I feel like a bit of you is gone.V70R collected and gone.
All of the happysad feelings.
But I'm sure I can learn to associate you with some other banger

Yea as above, moan at Homebase for delaying you and get them to put the parking company back in their box.
Completed my front parking sensor retrofit yesterday and gave it a proper test today. It works but it seems the sensors are a bit lazy. I can drive quite near a wall without any indication on the display and then after a few seconds it kicks in, then I can reverse away from it and the display still seems to indicate something is nearby when it didn't care about anything at the same distance only seconds before. After driving my wife's X3 (which has factory front PDC) I know for sure something isn't quite right.
I used BMW parts for the most part but thought I'd try the cheap sensors. Is the problem likely to be the crappy Ebay sensors, or could it be that I've put too much paint on them? My gut feeling is that these sensors are crap and I'm going to have to end up replacing them with genuine ones to get it working properly.

Had these fitted this morning, obviously not done many miles yet, but feel pretty decent so far (not soft and baloony), and seem good in the wet.
Don't have the flat-tyre look as well that some of the tyres in this size have, so that's a bonus
The original EfficientGrip Performance was awful for that, worst I've ever seen. So i'm glad they've sorted it out.
Thats interesting to hear. I like the EfficientGrip (1s) for the most part, but their squishy sidewalls rather bug me. If the 2 improves on this whilst maintaining the other positives associated with the 1 then I'd be fairly sold.
I sold my Model 3 Performance today after exactly 8 months of ownership.
I paid £52,990 for it and sold it for £52,500 through a dealership on a 'sale or return' basis which put £50,700 back in my pocket. I think that's a very good outcome on a brand new car since if I had bought anything else I would have almost certainly lost many, many more thousands on it.
I'm glad that I experienced 4284 miles in a ridiculously fast and great handling BEV, but it would take a lot of convincing for me to get back into another Tesla. I'm very curious to see what the Germans have to offer in the years ahead.
For now I'm going to sit on the money because we don't need two cars until 2021, but in true petrolhead fashion I'm supposed to be test driving a M340i on Friday

So you paid over £2K to do 4284 miles?
Bargain.
I did, in fact I paid more than that if you include the interest, but you've completely missed the point.
