Yup. Four hours driving. Step daughter #2 has her money in a heap and wants a MkII Audi TT in dark blue or black with cream or pale grey leather in nice nick with FSH, low mileage, few owners, good tyres and long MoT. I found such a car in Somerset, drove down on Manday to look at it, nice car, nice bloke selling it, good mileage, full Audi SH except the very last one done by a specialist, cam belt and water pump done, brakes replaced for the last MoT in March. To my chagrin, she didn't fall in love with it. It was dirty. Where I was looking for a good honest car, she was looking in the door shuts and at the leaves in the corners under the bonnet.
I said I'd clean it for her.
It's either that or she'll go out on her own and buy a spotless, gleaming pile of poo.
Jeez,she knows better than you ?....with all your car worldly experience.I said I'd clean it for her.

Some people are beyond help.

Silly boy - the best way is to just brush some petrol into it with a yard broom and leave it to lift out and evaporate. Just dont smoke in there for a few weeks afterwards!
As for the floor paint - use black line-ex or similar (the textured stuff they spray into pickup truck beds) for a rock-hard and very grippy surface that hides any oil drips!

1. Garage is under house. solvent vapour in house not good.
2. garage also contains electrical supply riser and multiple fuse boxes
3. And the gas boiler.
4. I like my eyebrows.
5. I remember the lessons of emsman.
In the end, white spirit used sparingly with citrus cleaner has worked. It's good enough to paint .
Just needs two days to dry now.
According to the fitness thing I've been wearing over the past 24 hours, I burn 2200 calories a day if I do very little. This is good news, It means that with the exercise I usually do each day I can eat about 1500-1700 calories worth of food and still lose the flab at the rate I want. Happy days.
