All done. Im beggining to hate detailing. :dead:
 
Need to give mine a decent clean may be a job for the bank holiday weekend. Looks mint!
 
Towels look dirty but they have all been in the wash. Should really buy some new ones though as them looking like that does bug me.

Axel stand was under there for when the wheel was off. No point though for the rest of the time as I wasn't under the car and the wheels were on.

Cheers for the comments.
 
How did they even get dirty? From not washing properly me thinks! ;)

Car looks good though dude... nice job.
