The Hafords one is almost half the price!

C'mon guys, a review please - so I know what to put on my list for Fathers' Day.

Interesting i want to know what it's like to, although i've never really had any issues with claying, apart from dropping it I found keeping the panels well wet helped a lot, i was using a bit of car shampoo in water and dipping the bar and my hand in the bucket and onto the panel.

Unfortunatly my bonnet is now rat look long gone have these days

I will give the old girl a once over before i come up to the meet.

I've reserved mine to collect but not had chance to pick it up yet, and no rush as won't have time to use it until the weekend anyway, so reviews will come then.

I went for this one as it gets good reviews and is way way cheaper than some of the other brands, plus they have a 3 for 2 offer on right now.

Bought one each for me and David yesterday, but weather here is back to normal (wet and windy) so won't be testing it for a while.

And we're back for a final visit to the Annual Meet route this weekend to sort out timings and events......more news very soon!

Popped in to the local halfords superstore with the thinking its a big store, so bound to have it in stock.

They never did.
But the smaller Halfords in town has.
So I'm off to there at some point.
