Don't you mean: "Just about to start a snickers detailing session on the FL2!"

It's ok I was planning to wash and polish my FL2 about 4 weeks ago - still haven't - but must say it's looking very used at the moment - I even found some muddy puddles along a nearby road to make it look better  2002 Honda VFR800

I did a big detailing session 2-3 weeks ago, car was beyond showroom shine

Only lasted a few days then our local Focus DIY really started reducing its stock and it was non-stop trips with flatpack furniture, bags and bags of chippings, tools, beds etc. and then followed with numerous trips to the rubbish dump. Wasn't just my projects either, my family wanting to use the landy to do their own stuff.

Thankfully all projects are now finished, just need a nice bit of weather to sort the car out again....which reminds me I'm all out of dodo juice shampoo.

Nice job

Can I ask how the chaps who did your drive finish it near the garden, mine looks to have placed concreate, which must have shifted as there are larger gaps in a path in the back garden and grass spreading in to certain areas (obviously all done when I bought it) but your looks a lot neater  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Well worth the effort, so well done you!
Oh, almost forgot, new tyres for your FL2! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

What exactly did you do to the wheel arches and springs etc? I give my arches a rub with the sponge everytime I wash the car, but the springs and everything never look that good  1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.
