Good job, sir! It looks fabulous! It is certainly dusty and dirty and working overhead is not nice either. But you have a warm garage. And you don't have to crawl around on the floor. That makes quite a difference!

Anyway, I can't keep up with you, I only polished chrome and aluminium today.

I'll see that and raise you

Cleaning old waxoil off a chassis with white spirit and rags, with the car on axle stands - old clothes/overalls, goggles a necessity

Cleaning the decapitated remains of a suicidal rabbit out the radiator/air intake...

It would be easier if you didn’t have Sean Bean getting in the road!

Yes, he lives round the corner. Good at under body, just don’t let him work on your wife’s.

today there are so many interesting technologies on the market which could help us a lot....

ice-blasting would have done the job well, would have saved you lots of nerves, would have been better for your health....and at the end of the day , even better for the environment (don´t get me wrong...i´m not green), garage remaining clean, clothing remaining clean, no cleaning cloth soacked with thinner, no thinner at all, no fumes, no waste,

and you would have had a spotless clean body, even in the last corner for hardly any effort from yourselves.

I still haven't managed to get the sensor out of the bracket, had to leave the garage as I was getting light headed from the fumes after setting it on fire.
