my car desperately needs a clean, it's currently a browny colour from muddy back roads and with black wing mirrors and bonnet from my travels on motorways. the bilt hamber autobalm seems to be doing a good job though as it's easily coming off, and it's very well protected, i'm waiting till it warms up then i'll chuck ye olde hose pipe underneath to make sure all the salty moisture retaining muck comes off!

I was going to ask you that after reading the first part of your second paragraph...

Spotted this last night the civinfo mob seem to like it and take a look at the stickies on the top of the cleaning forum

I cleaned the headlights, rearlights and rear numberplate this morning.

The lights were sooo much better this morning. Its not something i have done before so its going to be a habit now

and you?

Depending on the time, watch out for an '05 reg light blue Panda somewhere between J24 and where you leave at Sharston. Although to be fair, I will be going so fast you will just say: "Goodness gracious me, what was that incredibly fast moving light blue Panda shaped blur." Or "Get out the way you senile old fart!!!!!"

OK will try and catch you zipping by

I`ll be taking it easy in my `feel good` drive 07 GP trying to maintain 60mpg whilst listening to 5 live Nicky Campbell and `She` Fogerty

rock on......

i use a baby wipe for giving the Bravas headlights a quick once over

, very effective, too cold/time consuming to get out water and a sponge (been wiping Louies Uno headlights with one too but shhhh dont tell him he might not like it!)
