Detailing World Calendar
I submitted a photo of my Morgan plus 8 to the Detailing World Calendar competition and they chose it for July !!!  Not sure what the printer did but it has shrunk in width, I suppose to fit the page.

One way of getting the Calendar that you want is to use a service like Vistaprint as I did for one of my two Roadster 100 Annual Calendars

Great to see your car again, I think a previous post, some time ago, had the car in your studio. And very nice it is to, in fact it is one of the finest Plus 8 cars I have seen

Very interesting..... Can you tell me more about the Autoglym wheel cleaner and your technique? I have a brand new Morgan and will be cleaning the wheels (again) in the next week or so. I tend to remove them to do it and am hoping on the next clean to use 'Rim Wax' on them once they're done. I'm not used to having S/S wheels, so am learning!

I tend to remove them to do it and am hoping on the next clean to use 'Rim Wax' on them once they're done. I'm not used to having S/S wheels, so am learning! My wheels are chrome so I have to be a bit more careful, some wheel cleaners can be a bit corrosive on chrome. All I do is spray on the wheel cleaner and agitate with the brush supplied, then rinse off with water. Dry wheels. There are various wheel sealers on the market, I use Autoglym Alloy Wheel Seal an aerosol so is quick to spray on, leave to dry and buff off. You'll find your wheels won't get so dirty when sealers and wax have been used on them. Use plenty of microfiber cloths to polish. Rim Wax would be good as well . I wouldn't remove wheels every time, just once a year for a more thorough clean. Hope this helps - Keith

Take a look at the obsessiveness Jack on detailing world. I know you are a cleaning perfectionist, but they take cleaning to a new level - discussions on soap suds and charts on the abrasive qualities of various car shampoo and so on.
They take cleaning to number 11 and sound a bit nuts to be honest.
