What did you and your MKV do today?

[scottm72]

New rear tyre fitted due to big nail on the outer edge

[scottm72]

tried to clean up my tailpipes with special cleaner but made no difference lol,,,, think i need to get a new pair of them,,, i guess they are welded on,,, wold the old ones simply pull off with a bit of force ?
anyone any opinions on the best looking replacement ones

No they won't pull off mate.

I can highly recommend Astonish Oven cleaner paste.    (its like autosol but you get 5000000x more, for less money)  (got mine at wilkos, but widely available)





Use a No Scratch Scotch-Brite sponge and it'll soon come clean mate. (sainsburys, but again widely available)

ok i feal a bit stupid now,,, although i used a good cleaner especially for chrome i emm applied it with my sons wet wipes lol
to be fair it just said on the tin rub on rub off lol but maybe i will give the non abrasive thing a try instead of tickling it

i tell you man those wet wipes are great for nearly everything,,, especially getting into the little areas between your doors where all the dirt lives and great for under the bonnet lol

[scottm72]

spent 2 and a half hours cleaning the inside of the car ONLY,
yep you read right, 2 and a half hours for the inside only
was not bad to begin with but hoovered all,
all plastics treated with back to black
all glass cleaned
leather seats fully treated and conditioned ( man that was boring i tell you )

got to clean the outside tomorrow lol
wash, dry, full wax, wheel clean, wheel seal, exterior glass treated, bumpers back to black, tyres dressed etc etc etc
should take about 3 hours lol
i tell you thats a once a month job at the most, frightened to drive the bl**dy thing when its done lol incase it gets dirty
bet when i finish a big seagull will sh*t on the bonnet just as i stand back and admire the shine 
could you imagine it lol
