Finally got the Activa clean after its visit to the paintshop. Initially I couldn't use the car as it stank of paint internally and it was seriously aggravating my solvent intolerance so I abandoned the car for a couple of weeks so it could disperse.
It still hadn't yesterday morning
The interior was full of dust and it took me hours to clean the interior back to my standards. also washed the outside and had a good look at the job done. It's not bad for what I paid, but is the wrong colour compared to the original faded panels!
Needs a good polish now...
Still, much better than peeling paintwork.
Today is our first public karate demonstration this year at a big fête in the grounds of a stately home... Been practising this for weeks now and pleased to see the weather will be on our side as we're performing on grass. I can't see our pure white gis (uniforms) staying pure white for long though. I reckon they'll be more green and mud by the end oft he afternoon...
Tips on removing grass stains from white cotton will be very much appreciated!
I'm on holiday for the next two weeks. Tomorrow Chris570 and I journey to the isle of Anglesey to see a well-known Citroenist

Really looking forward to that.
Then it's serious spannering on all cars to make them good for the coming season... The reason for taking the holiday
