Must confess Im more of a drive it kind of guy, but got up this morning and resolved to do the Spring clean thing. Front SS wheels off cleaned and waxed, suspension greased. Under wings cleaned. Side lights wiring finally taped up fully. EUP hood cleaned. All leather cleaned and conditioned. Rear wires cleaned. Muffler polished. Car vacuumed. Weather too good so off for a drive. Still to go,polish and all chrome.Glass and under bonnet

Agree, when I clean the car I like to give it a good clean but am not as good at cleaning as I should be. I tend to just leather it off and drive it, more likely to grease it than clean it I guess.

Going out in a dirty Mog is like going out with dinner down your shirt front.

Dave I have seen your cars and they look fantastic, and I know you put in the miles as well, but when it's a nice day and the choice is drive it or clean it any temptation to wash and polish the car recedes firmly into the dim recesses of my mind.

Thanks Andrew  I've lived with dirty fingernails all my motoring life. The secret is to clean your Morgan after every run out...... That's the OCD solution, and then its always ready when the sun comes out.
