Being me, you wouldn't expect me to use the latest 'must have' Polish at £50 a drop ...... now, would you?
Nah, I use Autoglym ....... from the wash to the extra gloss - no point paying silly money for the same effect

Very nice car though....
Question: Why have rear mudflaps on a car that has a short rear overhang and no towbar. Yet has no front mudflaps to stop crap flying up the doors and sides of the car?
How much was the custom fit zimmer?

Nope, it's still solid underneath. The first MOT I put it through was the one that it failed on, and that was just a trackrod end.
