This afternoon I spent 4 hours cleaning and applying various products to the the Elise as it was filthy. I've just looked on the BBC Weather website and I'm about to go outside and fit the shower cap as it's due to piss it down tonight, lots of hardwork wasted. Knew I should have just driven the bloody thing

Couple weeks ago I spent 2 hours cleaning the car. It was immaculate. Even waxed and t-cutted it. It's a company car, don't know why I bothered... Anyway, parked it up and realised on my return it was under a tree - it looked worse than when I had cleaned it, and had berries and goo and therefore dust stuck to it. :mad: Still I had 2hrs in the sun so it wasn't bad.

I went through the car wash this weekend though - best £4.99 I ever spent!

I had a car washign session yesterday too. I discovered by accident that Persil laundry liquid takes bird poo off effortlessly.

As well as paint?

Still no rain here, not sure whether to be happy or annoyed.

No, it left a lovely shine actually, which I was very surprised about

Edit: and smells like flowers

Now I'm starting to get pissed off. I was promised heavy rain by the BBC and all I've had so far is that really annoying fine drizzle. It's screwing up all my hard work but without the fun of heavy rain
