Mr diddler is welcome to clean my BBS, thats the bit i HATE :(

i spent 5-6 hours yesterday, clay baring, polishing, waxing,

then plastic care was added, glass cleaner, tyre black, touch up pen where needed

then hoverd the interior from parcel shelf to the front, then used mini plastic care emulsion on all the black bits inside, bought to airwick air freshers, and got rid of all the wrappers from under the seat :)

and drenched the engine in auto glym engine and machine cleaner
