Hi Guys

I try as hard as I can to look after my i30, despite all the hard knocks its had (3 prangs & other crap)  - here are two comparative photos 2 years apart.

I need to wash it every day (road grime or dust) & wax it at least once a month. And its a daily driver - not wrapped up in cotton wool.

Looks good to me Dazz,two totally different light situations would account for the colour difference

All that daily washing and monthly waxing has stripped the paint off Daz.   I wash my i30 once a fortnight with Turtle Car Wash, @'Wash and Wax variety.'    As for waxing, never done it in two years. I suppose I am slack. :-[

dxer2, how many clicks on the clock?   You should be commended for maintaining your motor so well.
 :goodjob: A lot of dust out your way I suppose, we suffer from salt spray. :fum:
