One Über clean 182!

Spent a good 5 hours detailing today my 182 today. Was a well over due job, the Tar buildup was insane & interior was like a pig-sty!!

So here is all my detailing gear..*

Really chuffed with how it's cleaned up, feels so much nicer to drive knowing it's immaculate

Thanks, Piers.
