Just some advice! :ugeek:

Every year or two I recommend you remove your mudguards and sill covers to clean behind them. 10 minute job!
Crap will accumulate over time which will become a moisture trap which in turn feeds the rust monster.

This is what was behind mine after two years. :o

When I took my front bumper off last week, there was a McDonald's coca cola cup and a million leaves trapped behind there.

If you are in Wales, there may be a sheep stuck up there?

Yeah, they sometimes get wedged in parts of the car too.

(Good tip, Ta)

Don't feel bad Phil. My car was totally neglected last year.
I didn't even bother putting my summer wheels on. :oops:

Spring clean complete!!!! :P

It's not perfect but I've addressed the main issues and given her a good clean and wax ready for Summer.
I still need to give the engine bay a once over. :arrow:
