So this is my contribution to the thread. It was vaguely respectable at 0500 this morning before I set off, 400 miles later and it looks like this:

So I had 2 hours to spare today, and have ended up with this. It took a bit of effort though...!

in "detailing" mode:

Two hours = 2 x snowfoam and pressure washer, 6 bucket wash (rinse bucket changed 5 times!) using a gtechniq wash mitt, and dried using BH QD as a drying aid with a super soft microfibre drying waffle towel thing.

I love seeing a filthy car restored to its framer glory.

Two weeks and a few hundred miles of mucky Suffolk roads shes dirty!

Agree entirely with those who said other halves find us looking through this thread very odd.

I don't talk about it much....!

On another note; Zippyonline had a fantastic cleaning method and selection of products. Definitely like him to clean my car!

I hope you lot are cleaning off numberplates regularly.

I have lost count of the number of idiots that I have seen on the M1 in the last week whos numberplates are totally covered in filth and unreadable. I'm sure obviously you guys know better than to be like that.

Issues with having a dirty car

First someone at work decided to draw half a knob on the boot -



That was then scribbled out by a sibling. Now some arsewipe has decided to write in the dirt

I've seen no end of dirty cars and especially
number plates. How long does it take to give even
a quick bucket of water over the car?

This is mine about 2 days after washing it

[robbiekhan]

After 300 miles and a track session.

I'll bet that lasted all of 2 minutes mrk

Thanks for the offer, I'll drop it over I really couldn't care less about a dirty number plate, is that so wrong, do others really worry about such things?

People who draw on others cars belong in the knob thread.

I think the rain recently has washed it a bit but a client visit in the country along with the interesting routes my sat nav choose has added a bit of mud.



Going on 4 months without a wash, I probably could have washed it at the start of October rather than September but I think I'll wash it this month, roads seem to be getting a bit cleaner again. Plus all my trousers have a dirty mark on the back.

Finally capitulated after four months...











I'd like to take credit for the OH's clean 996, but that was all her work!

Torrential rain and flooded country lanes means mine has actually been cleaned a bit. Think it's almost time for it's first clean of the year.
