      Looking good.
      I'm going to have to do Orla tomorrow, it's been two months and she's starting to look dirty.

      We only get diesel...apart from the new Raptor. Our fleet units are diesel...just the old 3.2 litre TDI versions rather than the newer 2.0 litre single or twin turbos.

      Oh and no manual gearbox. Exclusively auto.

      Interior? As I've recommended before to other OPPOs, Gtechniq I2ab Tri-clean.
      All interior surface cleaner and anti bacterial.

      Bottom section is radio controls.
      Top section with mini stalk is front and rear wipers, speed, spray, etc...
      The tip of the stalk is for the 'on-board' computer.
      Radio from another Clio of the same age.

      In some regions like Asia, saloon cars are a show of wealth.
      We used to get some small saloons in Europe (not the UK), but they went to the wall, there are still a thing in South America and Asia.
      Opel Corsa saloon

      Renault Clio saloon
      22ab9aa0-59a5-43a5-acb7-b1ea15ca80bb-image.png
      The big saloon cars are still about, mostly with the more prestige marques.

      Interesting fact on the BMW 5GT. For each car they make, they pay a licence fee to Skoda for that tailgate.

      @pyroholtz It's all over the place -- we went a solid 3 or 4 weeks without a drop until a few days ago. Humidity got down to the unheard-of 30% range 🙂

      It was actually really nice, but I had to start using chapstick and hand lotion on non-winter days. Also unheard of!

      I asked Rob if there is any known issue with stocking of Gtechniq at eShine and whilst he doesn't know if it's in his control, he has followed it up with another stockist you may be interested in
      https://carzilla.ca/pages/search-results-page?collection=brand-gtechniq
      They also stock a very impressive range of other brands.

      If I recall the options were metallic dark grey/gunmetal, metallic silver and gloss black.

      @atfsgeoff
      No worries. Looking back, maybe quick folding the dirty shirt in the rear foot well and gluing the end of the tissue box back down was a tad OTT. Lol.

      If they aren't responding to other things then yes.
      But that's the thing with criminals, they tend to neglect road tax (vehicle excise duty), MOT's and/or insurance, so police will pull the car and in many cases catch them for or doing something else such as transporting drugs, stolen cars, etc...

      I think Kaley's kids are one and a half and three years old. They don't let the kids eat or drink in the car unless they have too but ye', as the two lil'ones get older they will be doing more active and messy stuff.
      The worst of the four Tiguans was the 2010 R-Line. The previous owner lived just out the city, never bought mats for the car (I did later on) and wasn't too filthy, just didn't really care about it.

      The females can be bad, but the males. Combine poor time keeping with impatience, it's infuriating. Lol.
      Me, I was brought up that, 'if you're on time, you're already late', and actually physically feel sick at the thought of being late for something.
      We probably make a bad mix.
      Yet me and their family have been like family for a good 12+ years now.

      @svend I've found the Turtlewax brand trim restorer is about 1,000,0000 times more effective than any other stuff commonly found in stores. I put some on a microfiber and usually carefully spread it around the window trim since that stuff takes such a heavy hit from the sun.

      Just just up equal amounts of swede and carrots into small cubes, boil until softened and mash a bit then stir through with some butter.
      Swede and turnip get a bad rap for being animal feed in some countries, but it goes really well with a nice Sunday dinner.

      We've four 'five' cars, Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, Mustang and GT. It's hard knowing where to put the Ecosport, Mustang Mach-e, Puma and Kuga (Escape), for MPVs, we have the Galaxy, S-Max, Transit Connect Tourneo and Transit Custom Tourneo (not sure we still do the Transit Courier Tourneo (below a Transit Connect, above a Fiesta van)).
      (Looks like we still have the Transit Courier, but as a Tourneo.

      I'm saving my ice'd cocktails for tomorrow.
      I've got one, Woowoo and two, On The Beach.
      Stick them in the freezer over night, then you have ice cold alcoholic slushies. Yay.

      It's a lovely colour when clean in the sun, otherwise, in low light and lightly dirty, it can look flat and miserable.

      The only interior thing I did was the glass.
      He was going to drop the car off at 4:30am before going away with his uncle but there was no parking. So was going to drop it off at 4:30-5pm when he got back but it was after 6:15pm when I got the car so the interior hadn't been messed up but rear interior glass had been leant up against.
      Ye', I most often swap out the generic washer cap with the Skoda one.
      I could of spent more time doing the engine bay to be honest. But he was happy how it turned out anyway.
      Ye', I could of easily spent another few hours going over the interior seat stains again.
      EDIT 2: they came back early to put a load of drinks in the boot, no, not alcohol. But three cases of orange Tango, then a case each of Berry Peach, Blackcurrant and an Apple Tango, one case of diet Coke and two of regular Coke and one of Redbull. Seems fizzy drinks are a bit more expensive in Germany, even with our 'sugar tax' of high sugar fizzy drinks.

      It's the walmart way (though we are in limbo as the company has been bought from walmart), if there's an easy way and a hard way, they'll actively look for a much harder way.

      Ye', single DIN with Car Play, he's using an adaptor to convert the Car Play into an FM frequency but it sounds awful.
      Thanks for the info.
      It's all alien to me as I'd just go somewhere and say, 'I want such and such, what can you do!?'.
