Thanks tom, had the car up on axle stands on and off in the summer, been doing it sections at a time and a lot of patience.

Impressive effort! I'd be a nervous wreck at the sight of mud/crushed mushy leaves / salt though. And what a 21st present!

I enjoy a bit of cleaning but that underneath is just mint. I really need to up my game and get the wheels off and also get underneath!

Amazing. I'd love to see mechanics' faces when they stick it on a ramp to inspect.

Wow and wow that Is a clean car. I find cleaning cars relaxing and therapeutic. You must be the most relaxed man to have ever owned a car! Great work great patients and monumental attention to detail. You might need help for your OCD but bloody well done :thumbsup:

How did you do it?-laid on your back with a toothbrush?

haha you might laugh pretty much did, toothbrush and toothpick,
all the underbody was degreased, and totally cleaned, then painted, now tackling the cosmetics over the winter such as the heat shields, exhausts, trailing arms, wishbones, etc :D
 
Welcome. Very very clean car,but why? I don't get you fanatical cleaning guys at all :roll:
