I polish the film exactly as I polish the car...I'm using the free car polish that was in the Thrill on the Hill goodie bag a couple of years ago, backed up by Maguires Detail Spray after each wash.

IF you have dull areas on the film, especially on the running board edge, caused by scuffing, it can be polished by using a polish designed for vinyl windows on boat canopies. Most marine chandlers have it in stock. It also polishes the rear window rather nicely!

But 200 miles since October...oh dear. More enjoyment is needed, perhaps some "Morgan Use Training" is required.
I've run almost 2000 miles in the same period and 10,000 since getting the Plus 8 in December 2014. Now have 25,300 on the odometer.

My plan is to be the first Plus 8 to 100,000 miles.... hide Is that Aero Abuse?

Thanks everyone, I'll use my usual Megulars wax all over.
Peter is of course quite right, I really need to use the car but a major increase in time needed to run my business left me with almost no free time over the winter and what free time I had was spent looking after my Farther.
Whilst it would be great if I could use the Morgan to pick him up each visit unfortunately I would need a crane to get him out of the car!
Anyway no more excuses it's out today and will be far more often.
joy

Worthers, Gott and Wynn offer business cover on a Plus 8 with unlimited mileage for a very modest premium increase...Running a business allows so little time to indulge, but if you can use the Plus 8 for business use on a nice day, why not?

Looking after Dad is a 100% good reason to not have time...I wish my Dad was about to see Tarka...I know he'd love it!

Well the +8 has been washed and waxed, started first time and went for a drive in the lovely sunshine. Only problem was so did everyone else!
However once I found a clear bit of road the car was superb, I was joined by an ex Morgan +4 owner and he was very impressed!
Memo to self - MUST USE IT MORE!
Thanks to all for the advice.
