Driving home tomight i realised my windows are filthy inside and my cars are always left unhoovered until it looks like i keep chickens in them. I keep the. Outside detailed but never get round to doing the interior even tho the car is my p&j.

So, how often do you do yours?

Windows get cleaned on the inside whenever they need it/ get covered in smudges. Vacummed the car recently for the first time in 2 years. Normally I just remove the mats and give them a good shake. It helps that I tend not to eat or drink in the car, and rarely have passengers, so it doesn't ever really get the chance to get messy enough.

Seems odd to me that you'd put more effort into the outside than the inside. I want the inside clean and tidy so it's nice for me and my passengers. I generally keep the inside clean as there's no need to keep touching the glass etc etc so it tends to stay pretty clean too, just requiring minor attention say monthly.

I know 'other people' see the outside more often, but that's a losing battle as rain/road dirt will always make it dirty again the first time you drive on a wet day. The inside, however, is pretty easy to keep clean by comparison because the only dirt/mess is what you create yourself.

Not frequently enough. Twice a year? Have 3 to do and just don't have the time to do it all. Usually I wash the car and then I'm knackered or I'm out of time!

Same here, and even then if it's greasy it's hot water a couple of drops of white vinegar and newspaper at a push some windolene or whatever, non of this fancy stuff specifically for cars.

Any glass cleaner is sufficient, even the likes of Astonish in the £ shops.
What's worth the spend on, is the ribbed type microfibers.
Get a couple of those in large size, like the commercial cleaners use, and you'll be grand.
Clean windows means less dirt attached, which means less condensation forming.

I think its because washing, waxing, etc actually prevents corrosion.

Interior stuff is nice to have clean, but it isnt actually harming the car if it isnt mint.

Regulary. Two wee boys can reduce it to a bomb site in no time plus she casts hair like a fooking Labrador. Can't cope with grotty interiors! Outside, that's a different story... been washed once in 10,000 miles.

Boxster and ML get vacuumed once every two weeks and glass gets done at the same time.
968 and M3 get vacced and windows weekly along with waxing regardless if they've been driven or not.
