If you have a supercar, then you have a garage.
If you deserve a supercar, you got it by graft and not being lucky and lazy.
Therefore, since you are not lazy, there is no excuse for going round in a great car thats covered in s
te, it just makes you look like a knob.*

I don't see the point in cleaning cars at all (except for the bits that you look out of).
My car (not that it's a supercar) has been cleaned twice in the three years that I've had it - once when I first got it to put a coat of wax on it, and once after I had the front end resprayed for the same reason.

clean and cared for is best. it shows a proud 'car loving' owner
dirty just shows you are a footballer or some other ignorant tt that doesn't care about their car.
now, a clean, restored DB5
a real gentlemans car.
There's a difference between "clean and cared for" and "hidden in the garage if there's a cloud in the sky or it's between October and April".dirty just shows you are a footballer or some other ignorant t
t that doesn't care about their car.now, a clean, restored DB5
a real gentlemans car.Oh, and I know someone who has had his DB5 coupe rally-prepped - that car gets very dirty! I think the soft-top one stays cleaner though.
Depends on the car and the mood I'm in.
Last daily was cleaned four times in the three years I had it. One of those was because it was valeted after a bump and another was because I was trying to sell it.
Current 'daily' definitely looks better clean. I drive it about 40 miles a week and have it washed once a week. My airport snotter hasn't been cleaned since I bought it eight months ago and it'll go to heaven in about a months time looking like a street urchin.

Road-trip chic! 
Dirty endurance cars just look right. But they should be clean for the next race.
