Not bothering to clean mine, hardly worth the effort.

Apologies for the colour, had the camera set to manual and the white balance for indoor portrait for new driving licence photo, tungsten lighting, not flash. Forgot to reset it afterwards.
If I wasn't so idle I could use The Gimp to fix the colour balance of course.

I'll wait until it's replacement is ready. Looked scruffy last week but the garage owner's wife will no doubt valet it like she did the Civic, was gleaming and like new inside and out.
Not for long though

No Gimp I'm afraid. Will Paint.NET do?

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

I think it needs more than paint. T-Cut maybe.

Mine's opened one eye, looked out, and said to wake it again in a couple of weeks when it's dried up and warmed up a bit :lol:
