I must admit to owning a couple of fetching sets of marigolds in Blue and Yellow  :wink: Only ever really broken out when dealing with (said in an Alan Partridge voice) 'Dirty' jobs that involve harsh cleaners!  :happy2: :wink:

 :surprised: :scared: :surprised:

I nearly screamed when I read that. The dealer washed my car a couple of months ago even though under strict instructions not to, i spend hours correcting the damage.

The plus side to it is they gave me the £200 service plan half price as damages  :happy2:

My thought entirely, just had it serviced and asked them not to wash.
