Got out, checked round it...it's been washed! the hell?!
And it's been done with a freaking sponge...put it this way, it doesn't look like the OP anymore 
As ungrateful as it sounds...I really really wished it hadn't have been done. The paintwork was mint, about 5 million layers of wax on it, all I had to do was maintain it, quick 30 minute wash each weekend, done. Now the paintwork is freakin horrid to touch, was smoother than a babys arse before and its full of little lines in the paintwork 
I text Dad asking why did he wash it (he knows I'm a bit anal when it comes to that car) he said he didnt, Jack (his brother who works with him) did it as he had nothing else to do.
I know I sound ridiculously ungrateful and I'll give it a proper wash this weekend and assess the damage in the daylight but I genuinely wish he hadn't of done it.
Ah well...hopefully me sweating my bollocks off waxing it this weekend will help it out. |
Going on from this...I washed and waxed the car today.
Thankfully, it's fixed 90% of the hairline scratches on it
Going on from that, I serviced the car this weekend and I'm happy to report its running like a dream, replaced that damn SAI valve that needed doing and it pulls like a train right through the rev range in all gears now
result.
Will be quiet for the month now, next month it's:
New tyres all round
Laser alignment to ensure all is well, if not make corrections where needed
MOT
Tax
And investigate the knocking noise coming from the front right corner....
I sense another expensive month lol.
