Old girl looking MUCKY after about 4 months without a proper wash. This was after a cross country blast earlier today.





Special shout out for the wheels which are normally a bright silver and are now sporting a fetching shade of dark brown. Lovely.

Big fan
Looks great

Seeing a couple of black 911s on here has inspired me.

This was Boxing day after having transported the family around Staffordshire for Christmas

Got it even more filthy (and covered in cow st as the farmers have been out spreading and think they got more on the country roads than they did on their fields)  mad


Quick contactless wash (soaked in warm water and some Dodo Juice car shampoo I've got left over); let that sit and do its thing and then simply rinsed...



Windows towel dried as it'll freeze hard again overnight

Strange as the rest of the car is mostly clean, but rear is getting pretty mucky. I think the shape lends itself to some sort of wake turbulence...

Yup; no matter how short a journey I do; the rear of the touring is the dirtiest of the whole car

Doesn't hep that the spray nozzle is frozen and nigh on useless until it thaws, if it thaws at all laugh

car still boggin'
The temperature is forecast to rise over the weekend so should hopefully get it washed at some point.

Bloody good looking car that, despite the dirt!

Saw one on the road and think it's the only car I've seen in recent times that I thought actually stood out and turned heads. Looked like nothing else on the road.

Getting worse.. I'll probably end up cleaning it next week just for something to do!

Another black 911. This time a 993 with 144k on the odometer. I cleaned it yesterday, however it picked up some localised muck courtesy of the M4.

I was on annual leave last week so did not have the opportunity to drive anywhere, given the lockdown announcement - I return to work and within a journey, this is the state of it.

Well last year it was fantastically dirty, this year with lockdowns and the like it hasn’t got dirty, just a bit mucky.
This time last year, I couldn’t go to that location again because lockdown and it’s surrounded by flood water.

This was my effort last year and that photo was after just a few days after being cleaned. I took the opportunity while at the petrol station to clean the lights and plate but should’ve, in hindsight, taken the photo prior to cleaning those. irked
