See, I
can do this "clean" and "shiny" thing sometimes! OK so it's only ever like this at night, but hey I finally have proof

It does actually get done fairly regularly - whenever the windows get too dirty for my liking - but it never looks like it ;) Oh and I never bother doing the alloys either - that's just a waste of time going to all the effort of taking the wheels off, etc
I really wanted this phone camera to just be good for once, cos it was a pretty awesome shot, but noooooo that wouldn't happen would it? And of course I'd never have been able to run inside, find my 30D and get back out to take the properly metered shot before that lovely sun disappeared hmph.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
