Yes, that's true Alasdair.. I must admit my Activa is looking rather sad and forlorn at the moment, parked up outside the house and gathering quite a coating of dust. Last trip out for the poor old dear was a run to the local tip :(

It'll change ;)

Saw this car whilst it was in the process of having this wax applied.....

Then pictures do not do it justice at all. It is truly magnificent and a real credit to you Alasdair :D

Don't forget to use some form of Tyre Cleaner! They are bringing down the rest of the car (it looks absolutely glorious, BTW).

A good insect repellent might help here. Swallows go for insects, and if the insects stay a mile away from your Activa the swallows might as well.
