elajf1 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 looks very shiney...I went through a phase of cleaning the lupo every week. Even mid week to get the dust off it. Alas, I realised that the flys/dust/mud/stones/grit/water/salt are always going to win in the end. Especially with a daily commute down the M1 and back.Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
