A train of thought that becomes evident when you see my cars. But that\u2019s no way to be, is it? There is nothing better than a car with paint so deep and clear that it leaves you looking for your swimming shorts. I need some of that action in my life, but as none of my cars work (and because my daily 2012 C Max isn\u2019t exactly \u2018on brand\u2019) I instead offered a session with the scrubbing brush to Tom Wood\u2019s Mercedes-Benz 500SL – he\u2019s the boss, so this will put me in good stead come review time.
