I filled my car yesterday morning, then re filled in the evening. I had done 29mpg, I dont think thats too bad! :) Fairly mixed journey, mainly A roads but with lots of ups and downs and a small amount of motorway

Hi mate.
Hope you didn't get to wet over there in sheep land.
Our weather went tits up the week before. Many houses flooded.
We will all be paying for flood damage now because the gov can't
sort out the infrastucture.
Cheers Mark.

I tackled my faded bumpers today. I had bought some T-cut for red cars so thought I'd give it a try

Image

As you can see it made a big difference, I continued and then put two layers of turtle wax on and they came up great! I was thinking of re-spraying them.

Good work!

Cheaper than spraying them too.
