were out in the sticks , work on the theory when brushing the vegetation on narrow lanes the layer of mud is a sacraficial layer absorbing the scratches leaving the underlying paint untouched.
we use a full set of rubber mats which get shaken out as required.
lights and number plates are cleaned when necessary and the mot guy requested we give the underside a squirt with the power washer before the test

A Bingo owner after my own heart
Isn't it amazing that human construction is always over-budget and years late and yet nature manages it overnight? I have been doing some forest walks recently and the combination of misty mornings and low sun highlighted huge cobwebs strung between Scots Pines. The trees were, in some cases, 3-4 metres apart and the main part of the web had a diameter of 70-80cm. Amazing feats of engineering.
Back to cars... I have just bought some waterproof seat covers which I think will be a sound investment. I had a choice of covers: with slits for the arm-rests or without. I decided on the latter as I didn't see the point of the armrests getting wet and dirty. The seat covers without slits were a little tight to go over the armrests so I removed them. The only downside is my other-half complains that waterproof covers feel cold when you first sit on them.
