What system do you guys use when washing ?.
If it’s really manky after rain/dirty roads then it’s snow foam and a very careful, low power, pressure wash. Hose off, and hot air blower to dry it off.

Martin, I agree, it’s a pain to wash.

My 1995 Mustang GT 5.0 was MOT'd today without any problems.

Next year it will have historic status (30+ years) and insurance will be about 35,- euros per year and there will no longer be any road tax.
