Yeah they are awesome mate.

I use them for everything, cleaning the conservatory windows, the garage door! haha

Although they are like 50 quid they are an essential!

That was only a quick hour clean, didn't glaze, seal or wax it! Wait till summer ;)

May i suggest you buy a foaming spray head for the bilberry, makes a massive difference to it......hard to describe...just get one, you will not regret it.

Apart from that it looks good mate for a corsa lol

Already one step ahead James, waiting on an order from Tim coming, was hoping it would have arrived by now..

Used the new Dodo drying towels also, very good, but too small, may need to get some more... or a Black Baron ;)

Cheers Bud, appreciated.

Black Baron is awesome mate, comes recommended from me, especially with wheels like yours lol

Just make sure you hold the nozzle tightly before you turn the machine on.........i didnt and it nearly knocked me out lol
