As a return favour for a friend, I spent a few hours on Sunday washing and detailing her battered and abused Peugeot 106. The poor little bugger hasn’t been washed in years, and it showed!

The 106 was decidedly dirty!

The 106 was decidedly dirty!

Still, after a good wash, dry, clay, clense, polish and wax it looked a bit better!

Getting there

Now I just need to replace the rear passenger door to lose the nasty de-laquered one, fix the rear drivers door that opens itself, change the side repeaters and find a nice subtle set of alloys for it.

Who needs scrappage when you can polish a t*rd! The little 106 has been faultless, faithful and utterly reliable for Rach, so why bin it when it works so well? A bit of TLC goes a long way, and keeping a car on the road rather than cubing it is much better for the environment too.

Looking much better

Before and after!
