No they go lower than that. Can't remember off top of my head how much lower I could have looked yesterday.

Had quite the busy day on the car today!
My plan was just going to be a wash and then clean the interior, this soon went down the pan as soon as I finished washing it, as I gave the car a good proper inspection (this is the first wash since some decent weather has started). The car was COVERED in tar.
So this is when I knew the interior probably wasn't on the cards! I soaked the car in AS tardis - getting most of it off, knowing only a clay would get everything off. So I got the clay bar out, started on the roof and was soon reminded that I had a clay mitt - as the bar was an absolutely nightmare - ive used bars in the past but I had a nearly new one which was a nightmare to keep lubed, and keep transferring clay onto the surface, potentially marring the car, so I then remembered I had bought the mitt, which did the job well.
Moving on this from I knew id end up going the whole hog, the machine polisher came out with some meguairs polisher/cleanser (number 83), coupled with a light cutting pad, I removed some light surface swirls that had appeared from washing off all the winter mud! There is still swirls left that are a bit deeper which needs a different combination to get them out - this will be a job for another day!
Pleased with the results, the polishing left a decent gloss, so I applied some collimate 476 wax, to finish the car off. Treated all plastics with Autoglym, re applied the H2GO to all windows, sealed the wheels with poor boys wheel sealant, dressed the tyres with meguiars.
Took the car out to find some different places to take pictures for a change, but still a few standard back garden shots! Went out again in the evening as the sun came out rather than overcast so theres 2 'sets' of pictures.
Enjoy:
