So how did it taste?, as per above instructions.

I'm still plucking up courage to do the old XJ, bearing in mind what I regularly drive through, if I miss a bit.... Well you get the idea;-(

 

My spies in Bearsden and Prestwick tell me that the snow has melted and it's well about freezing. Guess you can give it a proper bath now?

 

I guess I'm just lazy. Before the end of October I give the XJR a good cleaning and then it's into the garage until spring.
Even if I was willing to expose her to the salt and gravel there are just far too many individuals with the "I've got a jacked up four wheel drive with really wide tires designed for mud so I don't have to slow down just because it's icy" mentality around here for my peace of mind.
Baby can hibernate and that gives me time to polish things for spring.
