Was gonna wash the car but it's almost freezing here already and don't wanna create the ice rink lol!

So I'm open to carbon wrapping ideas, centre console is definitely one, thought about rear boot lip, not sure though..

I had the unfortunate luck of having a headlight go the other night, been replaced with halfords ultra brilliance lamps.

Always had good luck with the halfords ones, I've heard a few horror stories of lasting 3 months etc but I've clearly been lucky

Also I have a confession...... See below :(

So as you can see, Snowfoam loosens the top layer of grime and muck, mine is a fairly gentle foam too, more aggressive ones may remove more.

Usually around here the phrase used is "Don't clean me, just plant something" :p

Typically the rain and road grime has covered the car already again!! Great!!

Snap :(

My car is covered in all manner of muck at the moment, mostly diesel residue and bird muck.

Washed it this evening and it's already rotten again.

Waste of time and effort at this time of year.

Here's some pics for a giggle!!
