Took advantage of the sunshine and gave the car the most basic of washes possible! At the moment i just don't have the good stuff to use on her!
Will be investing in some washing stuff soon, what would you recommend to get?
I dont have time to spend hours on it, maybe an hour or two a week? Cheers!

Nice looking car.
Personally if you are a bit on the lazy side and don't want to spend ages cleaning/waxing on a regular basis I would go with what I use on my car. ( white) apparently white/silver benefit from similar approaches.
steps
1) Wash & dry.
2) De-Tar.
3) Chemical Guys P40 cleaner polish
4) Wolf's Bodywrap
5) sit back for months and enjoy just washing it.
That was my system for the winter.
For now I am going to strip it back and re-do it with totally different products0 -

Yes,
I actually forgot Cleancar was your neighbour.
That is where I got my P40 from.
Here is what i would suggest for you to start off with,
I also used this with fantastic results.
As above
1) wash/dry
2) de-tar
3) Some say Clay at this point which IS of benefit BUT
I skipped step 3 as my car was new and with the CG P40 it really is a cleaning polish so does a vety similar job in prepping your paint.
Next up I used CG Blitz. >>> Brilliant stuff and easy as pie to use.
Larry will look after you there with those.
You can top up with the Blitz after each ( weekly wash) for 2 or 3 weeks. Then it should last a long time for you. When it appears to dull a little just a wash and quick coat ( approx 15 mins ) of Blitz will shine it up again.0 -

Put in my heated seats today but since the switch is running to a relay and can't sense any draw from the heating pads it switches itself off. I must put a resistor between them soon to get them working. Ignore the mess.
And 2 more images of the interior.
The wires hanging out to the right of the heated seat switch are connected to a mediabridge 1500. I will make a proper connector for them soon. Like this one.

How do you do that LM?
Possibly.
Will people "thank" this post if it fits fine, or give out if it doesn't0 -

It's slightly wide maybe, but seems to be ok in general. (I'm on my work laptop so the res is lower than on my own Laptop, which I imagine would show that image as fine).
Just to possibly add to the oversized pics, spent some time yesterday with my lady, got her looking quite nice and shiny...

So after 18 months, I have my "project" mini running and driving!
Replaced the bypass hose, fixed the radiator, realigned the Carb and cleaned all the electric points. Just need to fix a leak in the fuel line and all should be good!
