It hasnt gone anywhere & its a bit of rain thats all.

Centrally heated garage is just as bad a place as any to keep a car. The humidity will rust a car indoors just as bad as bad weather does outside.

K95' is probably fully Waxoyled anyhow, so worry about your own before someone elses....

I agree with rick. At the end of the day its a nova, they were nowt special when they were made and are still not special now. Much the same as all vauxhalls. None were special or demanded anywhere near as much of a following as a Mk1 Golf, a RS500 or a Escort Cosworth. They were cheap affordable cars back then and now they are just cheap cars and are not at all desirable.

What, staring at Bretts car in a garage instead of driving the f*cking thing?

"Living the dream!" Whats that about? "Living the dream" for me centres around my wife* and son, mates and family. Holidays, nights away, romantic restaurants, school football teams.........

If "Living the dream" centres around a Nova mate, take my advice and get a life.....

Its all very high quality stuff the Insulator wax I have and its awesome stuff! protects your paint and doent leave any white residue like alot of waxes etc

I would Imagine the ?25 stuff to be excellent havent tried it yet though!

The products are very big in the USA and are absolutly of a very high quality not cheap rubbish etc

Actually thinking about it I might order some!
