Well, I've just finished administering a bed bath in the garage. Just a small amount of dust so detailing spray and microfiber cloths have done the job. Glass all cleaned with this stuff.

Not looking too shabby. Ready for ZedFest.

Ive been to the Lake District several times and it's rained every time. If only there was a clue in the name Lake District implying it might be wet 🤔
Yup, the wettest County in England, those Lakes don't get filled magic. Done the Lakes Tour on here for several years, never had a wash-out yet.

You have removed, what ever that was, can't see it 100% in your photo, under the badge on the wing ?
Yeah. He's removed the woosit from under the thingumeejig. People won't know what they're looking at now.

Two buckets, wet the car with first with a bucket of clean water to remove dust then use a bucket of warm water with car shampoo of your choice, rinse off with another bucket of clean water then towel off to dry the car to avoid water spots forming. Once dry you can apply polish or wax of your choice. I have been using car shampoo with built in wax and get good results, rain beads and runs off ok using these types of shampoo. If you want to go the whole hog with polishing and waxing I have used Mer polish for years, large bottle of this lasts years. At work we use Porboys Black Hole on the Hearse and Limos, its very good at filling scratches and produces a high shine when buffed off by hand.

Plenty of water up here in the North East, no water restrictions 'as yet', it's a lovely day out.
