Yes .. the car not the wife ... washed down with meguiars gold, cleaned up paintwork with meguiars ultimate compound, polished with meguiars deep shine and wax with meguiars caranooba wax.
car is now 10 years old and is undeniably starting to look its age, 86000 miles done, its now in semi retirement only doing 4 or 5 miles a day.

Still looking damn good for it's age though Phil. It's nice to see cars that are clearly cared for, regardless of their age or mileage. Mine should hopefully look similarly shiny by the end of this weekend... :cool:
 
She is keeping it ... offered to trade it for what ever she wanted, offered her £5k + trade in but she wants to keep the cougar... women !
 
Mine's nearly 10 years old as well (the car not the Mrs) and has nearly covered the same sort of mileage, but its not as good looking as that. Gives you a reason to stick around old fella if Di keeps it ;)

bet you went through a fair few puncture repair kits with the mrs though!
 
Looking good Phil, in the middle of doing mine at present, I know what you mean about them showing their age, we all see it when we clean them but the camera doesn't show the imperfections up. As hard as I try to keep mine right, I know what you mean because I see that mine is looking tired.
