I never turn my AC off, been driving cars with Climate since 2005 and never have turned it off. (Econ on the older models!)

Cleaned my car and also decided to wrap the seat badge on steering wheel because the sun reflection always annoys me :( also put on about 1 million touch ups onto my car too. Paintwork is really bad :(

That looks really good for no polishing and waxing :)

I had a bit of a hit last month, took it to the body shop and got it all re-sprayed and dent removed. Recently some of the new paint has started to crack at certain points and silicone parts are showing a dimpled effect on the car. Taken it back to have it re-done. So much effort!

I bought a "touch-up pencil" today.

Then I had a look around the car, and I think I'm going to need 2 of them :( That's tomorrow's job once I've bought a tiny modelling paint brush.

Might have mentioned it before, but there's a lovely scrape along the drivers side where some :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: has used my car to help them find the limits of a parking space. And then opened their door into it. Not sure how I'm doing to fix that yet. If I find out who it was I'll be stamping on their head for a few hours...

Given the state of the touch-up job I did on my Suzuki, does anyone here know a good place in the Hampshire area for respraying...

Will be taking her to work for an oil and filter change. Check the aircon system. No doubt order a bloody pressure switch and brush my trims plastics and rubber in chemical guys VRP.

Had this problem on my Clio. They hadn't buffed the door shuts, there was overspray on the rubber seals, and they'd caught the window with the buffer! Took me a good month to get it all sorted!:(

Hope it comes back right this time for you!

Just applied paint to my various blemishes. Well, except one really long one along the drivers and passenger doors, which I'll make a right mess of if I try to do that. It looks much better already.

Waiting until it's time to do the lacquer now.

On that note, what's the right thinner for cleaning the brush? White Spirit doesn't seem to be doing the job.
