jaysVR6 2 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Now that the evenings are lighter, its much easier to keep your car clean. My missis knows I'm obsessed with my car and yes I suppose I clean it when it's dirty. But some peoples idea of dirty is somewhat different than others!So, do you wash off the road dust like me, every other day?!! (especially with my new wheels!)Or is it a case of waiting until you can't see out the rear window and there are animals living in your scuttle and sleeping in your footwell before the sponge comes out?

jaysVR6 2 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Proper car soap, sponge, hose and a real chamois does it every time!I've known people to use Fairy liquid!! It's a bloody de-greaser and strips all the polish off! Link to post Share on other sites

nickbee 1 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I try and clean mine as often as possible by driving quickkly when it's raining. If you're talking about actual washing, with cleaner and a sponge and stuff, then we're not talking washes per week, we're talking months per wash... Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 not as often as I'd like. Probably most weeks, sometimes slips to two. No waxing everytime tho....a bit lazy for that Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 No waxing everytime tho....a bit lazy for that tbh waxing your car every week isny necessary anyway... can't hurt and I find it hard to resist doing as black cars look the best when freshly waxed (probably because they look the dirtiest at all other times!)
