Car is cleaned every week, and was detailed by myself in august. Cleaned, clayed, cleaned, polished, glazed, waxed!
Always cleaned with good quality products.
Bad points (every car has them)
Couple little parking dents, the car is 10 years old.
Only have 1 key. Other key was meant to be "sent in the post" but never showed up.
ABS fault. Was not told about this when i bought the car, was discovered by my mechanic, a relay has been put onto the car so the light comes on and goes off with the other lights when you turn on the ignition.
Have not tried to fix this so could be just a sensor, but thats just wishful guessing.
Drives as it should, changes gear with ease, light steering, starts first time everytime. Since owned the car, this now is the best condition its been in, had a lot of money spend on it, all doing it properly.
