Now don't get excited nor assume I have crossed the Rubicon where tarting up motors is concerned, but -
I have just purchased a chamois leather.
I think it must be about fifty years since I last wrung one out and dragged it across a panel of a car.
But when I looked at La Gata Negra after I had hosed her down, I was ashamed and embarrassed.
She was blotchy and showed every dried droplet from my endeavour to rid her of the effects of atmospheric attack and the bloody birds and insects that are attracted like a magnet to a pristine body.
The sexy double dip roof line was speckled and being a black (or near as damn it) hue, every blemish jumped at me.
Don't start talking about clay sticks and detailing, because I ain't going there.
Admiration for those that do and concours awards are well earned, but I shall be pleased to just see a good clean even finish after a wash.
