Re: What have you done today/recently to your 5?
I'm going to get flamed for my "good value" comments again, haha!
I've used Meguiars, Autoglym, Zaino...and a couple other name brands. I've found Zaino my favorite but decided to try "supermarket" brands when I came back to Australia.
Some of them were a PITA, but one cheap one I tried and used recently was Nu Finish. Not too bad I thought! Anyone else tried this?

Yes...went back to Nu Finish polish and it's good and it's easy. Maybe not "once a year" but damn good

Fitted up some new NGK plugs as the old original plugs were due for replacement, 6 years and 78,000 kms done. Not difficult, just took my time.
Gear box oil change tomorrow.

I think the same thing about the Dualis, so huge!

I fitted the Sparco Sprint V!
