Picked up our 1.2 pop in Bossa Nova white today, with red and black ambience/rubbing strips/blue and me. Only problem was the strips which the dealer rejected as poor quality so they are to be fitted next week.

Very exciting!

That is seriously 'excited', if he needs a bucket and sponge.

Exactly, unless you want to scratch it to hell! Sponge = big no no.

Mrs Notts washed her car on the weekend and I let her use my sheepskin mitt... she said it was like shoving her hand up a soaking wet dead furry animal and rubbing it over the car. Women. :bang:

True, it reminds me of pulling a drowned rat from a channel every time i re-dunk it! After use, I like to rinse mine then put it on the radiator until it dries and goes fluffy, then i can't help but give it a stoke and a pet every time i walk past, like it's a guinea pig or something?! (oh dear, did i really just write that?)

You men and your sheepskin mits - nothing wrong with a hose, bucket, sponge and a chammy leather!

...and you would know because... oh you went and asked Mr Heidi! :devil:

I dry mine on the radiator too... quite often one of the cats drags it off and tries to kill it. Well I THINK they are trying to kill it, may be something else...

And why not ... to use one of my mum's phrases "why keep a dog and bark yourself?"!!!

HaHa, good point, i could just go and chop off a sheep's tail? Quick wash and it will be fine!

I like your style Heidi... you're an unapologetic reverse chauvanist. You go girl.

Totally agree Heidi! I do have a sheepskin mitt, but it is sooo odd to put it on your hand when its wet so I've given up. Two buckets, two sponges (hold your horses '2 buckets' brigade - the second set is for my daugther!

) and some microfibers will do me nicely! And anyway it gets dirty again as soon as I drive off...

I reckon this "wet sheepskin feels funny" issue is a woman thing, as my mrs says the same!
