I jet washed it (yesterday) to get the last of the quarry clag off it from the previous weekend and also to remove bits of the Yorkshire Dales from Sunday's day trip.
Then today, I polished it with Meguiars Ultimate Polish and finally Ulitmate Liquid Wax to get the paint ready for winter. I was going to apply a Ceramic Coat, but the wax is so good, I don't think it needs it.
I even did the roof with the polish, it took ages and still doesn't look as good as the body, that black paint is not going to be long lasting.
I am quite happy with the two morning's work, it hasn't shined like this since I bought it 7 months ago.

Not necessarily today but last weekend I did 1052 miles round the top north east section of the NC500. I deliberately left the west section as it was pushing 80mph wind which would only have been getting stronger up on the exposed sides of mountains in the middle of nowhere. Not necessarily a good idea in a light weight narrow high sided 4x4 with soft suspension. That said the trees were putting on a magnificent display of reds and golds and oranges.

Had to park it on the sand dunes today whilst going for a sail as the car park was full.
For our Aus friends that is the closest we are allowed to the beach up here.
For the really observant of you, that is a Porsche next to me on the dunes, so perhaps not that impressive.

Today I drooled over this Gen4 5 door…… Shame we don’t get them in the UK as it would be perfect and I would be able to return to a Jimmy!
