Got a job done on the car today, with the following results...

They spent an hour on the alloys alone!  Well pleased with it.

Cats know your every thought.

The hedge in the first photo needs a good trim.

I simply don't have enough time to do a proper job on it myself, so I supplied them with the polishes and told them what I wanted.  The reason I got it done was because I wanted the car looking top notch for Al and Richies opening today but, as ye saw, the car was manky by the time we got to Dublin!

The crowd who did it do a great mini valet, with de-tarring, for €35.  The job they did for me cost a bit more, but was well worth it.
