Great pic, sometimes an image just works without even trying.

Dudes, seriously smile

Life is too short to worry about swirl marks. I bought the car to drive, enjoy and occasionally thrash, and she will want for nothing mechanically. But good old corner car wash is fine as far as I am concerned wink

Aw, we're just playin' with ya biggrin Of course it is made to drive and you'll get swirl marks from just doing that. A nice enhancement every year or two will keep her looking nice.

I can see it now, loads of piston headers going to that car wash and asking to use it for a photo shoot.

"Can we use your garage mister, don’t actually want the car cleaned".

I’d have to ask them to shut the kitchen door though wink

And get the Focus moved out of the shot, how are you going to replicate the soap suds if its not washed though

Yes did consider the Focus, and the BM as well smile we'll have to get creative with the soap suds.
