Welly mate, did your clay bar look like this after you did the Vulva :arrowd:

Got to agree tho i couldn't keep my hands of it once it had been finished :oops:

:arrowu: it did looky the same and strangely the boot lid was the same as yours there! (I suppose all the crap gets thrown up at the back and sticks to the paint).

Great job to do though.

I'll get a pic of the clay bar again when I do her indoors' Arsetray.

Ah now youve done it,Youve started sliding down the slippery slope into detailing ocd.
Next you need to join detailingworld.co.uk and talk about waxing and polishing 24/7 and run outside when it rains to look at the water beading on your paintwork.

I don't think I'd ever bother until I can garage the car, there are so many cats that like to sleep on the cars and leave their claw marks :evil:

Kill the little b*s*a*d and roast it over an open fire. You've spotted an American Grey Squirrel, and they are killing off our native Red squirrels in their masses. :x
