With the lockdown I have a little time on my days off. I haven’t had many as I work for the NHS, so decided to just chill and wax the motorhome!
Normally I am very much a washing up liquid and brush kind of bloke. Never dry it off or wax it. However, when having some work done at Travelworld when we bought it there was an exact same age and model of van next to ours in the car park and it looked terrible. I therefore decided to keep ours waxed and tidy.
So with the lockdown I wasn’t prepared to shop around and have no idea when my next day off will be, so I dropped by Halfords on the way to work and grabbed an Autoglym detailing kit with wax and shampoo. It was £42 bloody quid!
Anyway, got a nice pot of gold or wax and a sponge to put the wax on. All was going well, only one side left to do. Then noticed the bottom of the pot.......
Not only was the bottom of the pot concave, the sides were actually 10mm thick plastic to make it look like there was more in the pot. So the one side of the motorhome looks very patchy and I am still amazed that I used £10 worth of wax per side of the bloody thing.
Once the lockdown is over I am going to get a lovely bottle of wax, the stuff where you could do the whole thing for less than a tenner twice!
It better last a while!
