Down to the local car wash in me lunch break, £6.50 for the Platenium Wash.

The 5th Gear television programme did some research in to car washes

1st up, was the Jet Wash [they said no good]
2nd up, the people you visit who have a Bucket and lots of Workers giving it the once over [they said not very good]
3rd up, the Car Wash you get at your local garage, the drive-through type [they said very good].

Apparently it leaves less scratches in your paintwork

Finally finished fettling the new A Bar brackets and got it fitted.....oooooooohhhh she looks lovely again
