… drying it off with hide from a Himilayan yak


Damn… I knew I was missing something from my extensive diy valeting kit. Where do I get a Himalayan yak hide and should it be from a female or from a male yak?

Because a car is a tool, not a show pony to show off to the neighbours......I never understand people who wash their cars every week even when not needed....OCD maybe? Wink Regards

Mine gets washed once a month, and maybe just once or twice throughout the whole winter months.

Rinse the dirt off, wash it with the mit, spray Autoglym Aqua Wax whilst it’s still wet then dry it. Job done.

Washed just a couple of weeks back, probably won’t get washed this month as it’s bone dry here so no dirt just dust.

Forget washing, you must need a forklift to get the Defender parked with walls so close to the front and rear. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
