Makes ya feel sexy!

I cleaned my V8V for the first time today (only had her two weeks) and I have to say it was quite a sensuous experience. Not a single sharp edge to be found, just lots of curves and smooth contours.
Really quite an unexpected experience. Anyone else feel that way or has another fetish surfaced in my mid-life crisis years

This is the first weekend in many that I've not washed any of the cars. I feel like I've let it down 
It wasn't a great day for washing where I live. Washed and dried, it rained so I dried it again, it rained again so I let it get a blow dry in the windy weather. Any excuse to run my chamois around her curves!Still looks sparkly though

Chamois! Nooooooo.
Rinse with water from one of these http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/aqua-gleam.aspx for similar, go for a swift drive to the pub (for a swift half), use an air gun to clear all gaps and holes, then (if you must) wipe any remaining drops off the car with a soft microwipe. Quick wipe of the wheels again to remove any dust that as accumulated from the swift drive for the swift half, and Bob's your mother's sister's husband.
Got one of those but couldn't use it as there is a hosepipe ban. Used the chamois as I didn't want to leave hard water on the car. Did run out to remove water from the cracks and crevices (and did have a half of Abbots too) Rinse with water from one of these http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/aqua-gleam.aspx for similar, go for a swift drive to the pub (for a swift half), use an air gun to clear all gaps and holes, then (if you must) wipe any remaining drops off the car with a soft microwipe.

I wish dealers wouldn't put that horrible tyre dressing on tyres as It sprays all over the wheels.

Some tyre dressings are fine, but don't put directly on the tyre - put on a cloth and then wipe on the tyre. With a hosepipe ban you could always fill a watering can. Indeed, this is what I used to do with the water from the garage dehumidifier.
Doh!! Watering can - great idea. Should have thought of that. Will use it next time.
