Have a look at this

This is a 56 plate car that was picked up from the dealer a month ago, full of swills and buffer trails this picture only shows a few but the hole cars is full of them.

The women that owned it just said she was not bothered

Re: Have a look at this

A lot of people just see a car as a means of going from A to B, and probably accept that in the grand scheme of the universe, having a few paint swirls isn't that big a deal.

Most people have better things to worry about than a few swirls on the paint of their car.

Re: Have a look at this

Tbh the fact the owner has introduced a gritty sponge to it qualifies as caring for it in most peoples eys.

My parents appreciate nice(ish) cars & buy brand new usually, yet tbh none of their cars ever see wax or polish.
I'm sure my mother would disagree if someone said it was poorly kept.
