Kinda got into an Elgrand frenzy today after changing the plugs. Gave the engine bay a spruce up and polished the life out of her (by hand). The nice weather definitely spurs the motivation. Well and truly knackered now though. Also seems to drive a bit smoother with the Iridium plugs.

Not technically something I’ve done “TO” the Elgrand today, but I did blow a load of money on some camping gadgets for the boot 😜 ⛺️
Pots, pans, gas cooker, utensils, 1st aid box, basic tools, tent awning, anti skid tracks, lights, microfibre towels, shovel, etc.

Same! I’ve never bought a new (to me) motor, and not cleaned it thoroughly… c’mon Spring!!

Exactly its how you get to know your car, the scratches in paint etc. By giving it a good clean inside and out I always find things I want to put right and also gets the car smelling fresh

Looking extremely tidy buddy!
White can come up very shiny... maybe not to the level of Andy's G30 though! :laughing:

I don't think it'll ever be @dognero level of invisible. Every Time I go over it, it gets a little better though. I enjoyed it today. Nothing to do all day, sun was shining and I could take my time and be a bit more thorough. Aching like a bastard now though 😅

It's always a satisfyingly good ache though
 
Against all my instincts I took The Floozie to be washed today. Then I brought her home and started cleaning her myself!
I usually leave it to the rain. ☔
She came up trumps. I'm pleasantly surprised with how good she looks after a bit of spit and polish. I didn't get it all done today (I'm knackered) so if tomorrow is a reasonable day I'll finish the outside and start on the inside. The wheels are the hardest to do because I struggle to get down to that level - and then I struggle to get back up.
:D It was quite therapeutic.
