Well done Cheryl – and goods to see you involved in such a high profile promotion which is getting national coverage. If I were you I would be bragging to all my customers "I did that" 😀

Very nice job.
Some of those look a bit fiddly.
What material and application method did you use?

Hi Alistair
I had absolutely no one to help. So in the time I had it includes … going to get the car from the car park and returning car to car park…and all cleaning. The first one took 2 and a half hours. once I had got into the swing of things one and a half hours.
5.02 a day, 26 in all.

Thank you everyone….a huge learning curve with this one…great rewards too. As I was not allowed to work on Saturday afternoon or Sunday because of health and safety…I had all that time for some serious shopping at the metro centre up there, and I watched 4 Movies….bliss!
Jason, thank Gawd it is not a complete wrap…the colour of the car is the Nightshade dark dark purple…would have taken more than a week to do all of them by myself otherwise!!! phewie

James with the amount of work Cheryl turns out she wouldn’t have time to do a marathon, don’t doubt she has the stamina though 😀
