you wouldnt think it was washed less than a week ago would you

A bit grubby.You should see my Seicento. not washed for 2 months and been up the motorway lots and up and down farm lanes. its covered lol. Cops been looking at the number plate cos you cant read it but I aint washing it cos soon as I do its filthy again here.

mines done around 400motorway miles, and a good 100 on country lanes since its wash. I think its time to invest in mudflaps.

Anyone know where i can get some nice plain black vinyl stylé ones?

surprislingy yellow dont seem that bad to show dirt. The motorway is a filthy thing.

Mate you wanna see my car! It too gets a weekly wash, which if I'm lucky lasts a day

Mine too - seems the dark metallic red turns a nice shade of brown after a day! As for mud flaps - well I got the moulded Fiat ones for my Bravo last year, and it made not an ounce of difference. The rear was still brown!! :yuck:

what!!! wash it!!! thats not dirty mate, youve gotta wait untill it starting to stop the lights from shining

That yellow one aint dirty!!! I bet someone here could post a car more disgusting than that! I've seen some thick shades of brown on the roads recently!

my red one had a 2 tone job going on before the xmas meal, was literally black on the bottom half :slayer:

Made the mistake of washing mine earlier, then i put the windows down and wipres on. and its dirty again.

Spent four hours washing and waxing mine.....then it rains :bang: :bang: :bang:

Mine hasnt been washed in at least 5 months...probably bordering on 8.

Its got a protective skin of dirt!

My cinq hadnt been washed for 14 months until i bought it,the day i picked it up the guy took a bin bag full of fast food/sweet/baccy wrappers out of it and it was still fxxxing filthy.Took me 20 odd hours solid to clean it,and it`s still not perfect.

yep, that what i keep telling myself

I have decided on becoming more creative than washing it now. i get a cloth and then rub of the dirt in streaks along the side so that it looks like flames

A variance to this is to do short streaks down the side and it makes your car look like its going faster!

i dont like people writing in the dirt on mine, or anything like that - dont want it to scratched my already faded, knackered paintwork

if you dont want to wash them, you should atleast clean the lights an front screen every couple of days.

and the number plate, as you could get nicked!!!!

i do want to wash it, just not had time! it was washed last saturday!

front lights and screen are ok as they're treated with rainx which does seem to help stop stuff sticking to it

i was going to wash my car yesterday not done it for a few weeks but decided to go to manchester instead - the coop may get a bath today er i think

Couple of jaunts over the Helmsley TT and...



I washed the back lights clean before we set off too.
Someone put 'wash me' on the back, but it's almost completely obscured now. The flash photo doesn't really do it justice.
