Thank you Andy, it was very rewarding when I stood back and looked at it...
After 12 hours work , I bet you fell back and the last thing you saw before you passed out was one really shiny car ! Excellent work buddy :D

Lol it did take me a couple of minutes to straighten up. But your right, it is shiny...
I’m driving down to Bude in Cornwall tomorrow for a holiday, thought it best to clean and protect it before the weather gets to it...

We're taking friends out to for a meal tonight and it will be the first time they’ve seen the car. I’d like to say I gave it a good wash but I took it to our local Eastern European’s who did their usual excellent job and then I just finished up a few bits at home. Both friends drive BMWs so I hope to show them the error of their ways ;)

They will be in awe of the technology Steve. What with direction indicators and speed limiters it will all be very new to them. They will certainly be impressed !! :D

As Wighty say's, "Top Job", if I had mine looking as good, I would be reluctant to take it out on the road !!!:D:D:D

I like to use my car, I’m sometimes reluctant when I come across some shall we say silly sods that think I want to race them in there, pugs, corsers, polos and bmw’s... I like to take it easy enjoy the ride and feel and use the power in my own time...Thank you for the compliment though. ;)

I have given mine a good leisurely wash and brush up in the full sun this morning. There is something more satisfying cleaning it in the full sun. Hot but if you take it slowly I think the results look stunning !! :)

Had the SLK55 serviced in Southend Mercedes, way cheaper than Maidstone Mercedes and a very pleasant 40 mile, roof down drive home

It was with immense restraint that I was able to sympathise with my Wife's work friend when this happened within minutes of her arrival :eek: ;)

Mine, having only just finished cleaning it didn't get anything at all !! :D :D
