I like to break up my detailing over a period of days, to avoid boredom and hopefully achieve a better overall finish. I couldn’t do it for a living as it would take all the enjoyment out of it for me :cry:

Also, if I F@#k up my own car, not that I ever have yet, I won’t have anyone wanting to take me to court :rofl:

Yes, completely agree re the tires, think I used the phrase ‘moon buggy’ in a different thread! having them replaced next week. I note you’re a fan of 255/35/19 on a 9.5J... foresee any issues with 255/35/19 on a 10J ? :thumbsup:

I like to sort mine out in a day but its not normally to the level that you have gone to - not certain I would get the same effect on white anyway.
