Forum challenge then, how shiny can we get our vans? As it’s on the side on Sunday thread, here’s a side on shiny pic taken on a Sunday.

Well spotted Ed, and of course the refection is clear as day.

Over here in the posh end of Leicestershire we have garden waste collections on the same day as recycling. (although the council makes us pay an extra £45 a year for the privilege)

Cards on the table, my van will have a natural head start from most others simply because I work on the paint pretty much every day, including adding waxes constantly.
I'm very OCD with my van, and I'm the sort of guy that cannot bare dirt on the surface for more that a day, but also my business has a reputation for a certain finish and standard and my customers expect to see the best, so it's literally a daily chore for me, and part of my working day.
Yeah I enjoy the result at the end. and my routine is down to a fine art now, but it's huge amounts of work, and hours a week to look like that, and most owners just wouldn't have that kind of commitment on a daily driver that does the miles I do.
