    Good job especially the exhaust, listen to what Lee says about the washing up liquid though it contains salt which reactivates in wet weather and could screw up your hard work.

    You said "usually use fairy liquid"

    Even cheapo car shampoo from tesco is better mate.
    Good man for swapping.
