Regular maintainence

Post by mark my words » Fri Sep 16, 2011 12:27 pm

Hi All

If you the rest of the day to look after your car what jobs would you do?

Except general wash and tidy

for example I have cleaned my roof drains this week and cleaned her thoroughly inside and out

Inside clean - can put up with a bit of muck on the outside but the interior for me has to be spotless - OCD! :P

You can and will always find something that needs attention even on a maintenance wash to your car. Keeps you on your toes bud :thumbsup:

Umm, I love my car, I love having her nice and clean - BUT - a quick maintenance wash, throw your gorgeous wife in the passenger seat, drop the roof, go driving and enjoy the summer.... :thumbsup: Much better than "what else can I clean on my car" :lol:
