Now that the scoob is garaged up during the week, i gave it a wash yesterday knowing it wouldn't get dirty all over again. Claire even helped me by cleaning each wheel individually after i took them off

Come on...get with the times.....what you need to google is 'Detail'.

It's like washing an polishing but you use twice as much gear (some of which is the same stuff in a different pot, a bit like pasta sauce, bologneise sauce, pasta bake and lasagna sauce...all the same different label/price) and charge 4 times the price.

Saturday mine got a Carnauba wax and cherry glaze, not bothered with wheels as they are going off next week for refurb and repaint.
Oh and Scott of course the arches and brakes all get a good clean

Ian thats on the cards With a 3" system and the snorkel you gain about 20bhp/30 torque been doing a lot of reading should take it to around 160.It does not go to bad now for a big vehicle.
