Default Mayday weekend.

What a fantastic way to view how scummy your neighbourhood is. I've watched 2 parents battle it out in public infront of their young son, a man jump into his car whilst drinking a bottle of Strongbow and driving off, a fella walking past my street so wiped out he looked like an extra from Walking Dead and a Dad throw full abuse at his son for embarrassing him by wanting to take some toys with him as he got dragged to the pub!

Oh and a know it all you're "doing it wrong" car cleaning inspector.

All this whilst I was washing my car.

We aren't allowed to use a hosepipe either, but the Iraqi carwash keeps going.

Myles, it's blooming brilliant! I got one with Mezerna pads and compound/polish and within a few passes my paintwork looked fantastic and it really cut down the swirl marks. It's a long process to get it ready for cutting polishing though, I tried to do the whole car and as a result didn't get as good a finish as I could have by taking it slow and concentrating on one section of the car at a time.

If you're concerned about damaging your paint, watch the junkman videos on youtube, he shows you how its damn near impossible to screw up using a DA.
