:yesnod: I will wash my car and spend quite a bit of time getting it all nice and clean .....

.... but after that the thought of waxing, claying, polishing :nonod: sorry I just can't be bothered. :coat:

:drive: went to get a few groceries yesterday and spotted a new bottle in the car bits section of Aldi.

:-? £1.49 - Spray 'n' Shine ..."Spray on, wipe using a microfibre cloth. Admire the shine! ... Wash your car first. No need to dry. Use Spray 'n' Shine sparingly, one panel at a time."

Got to be worth a try I thought.

So late yesterday evening I washed the car and whilst it was still wet I went around the car very quickly using the spray. When I say quickly I mean quickly 6 - 7 mins tops. It was going dark so couldn't really see the results.

Went out this morning, fully prepared for the car to look all streaky and covered in lines :oops:

What did I find....?


:woohoo: My little MGF looked ready for the showroom, it sat there glistening with a lovely glossy shine :woohoo:


If like me you don't want to spend hours polishing your car, you will not be disappointed with this stuff



On the bottle it says up to 8 applications, I reckon judging by the amount I used you'll get at least 10 on an F /TF.

Don't go to the Aldi on Stockport Road ..... I went back this afternoon and bought the remaining five bottles :bust:

Sorry, shouldn't be flippant, it's going dark again now and no I didn't take a photo .... trust me, would I lie to you?

Thanks for the tip Paul! That'll be useful when I can no longer manipulate my Dad because of my lack of mobility :P I got Dad to clean Penelope on Saturday is preparation for MGs in the Park yesterday, while I stood and watched :)



He did spray me with water though :dry:

Too right! I made the tea... Actually no I didn't even do that - he made me tea! :dry: But I did make his sandwiches on Sunday morning before setting off! Saving grace?? :-?

Sounds good to me!! B) Also the Spanner / Ratchet Wrench set at Aldi this week looks amazing value - I paid more than the price for a set, just for a 17mm one from Halfords on Friday :sick: Thanks for the update :yesnod:

Life is not a rehearsal - carpe diem!

Those ratchet spanners are a must. They save me so many broken fingers. And a ratchet screwdriver as well!

Good Tools save you lots of time.

Our nearest Aldi is 25 miles away :(

There is one being built in Stratford, and has been for 3 years :rant:
