This is giving my OCD bone the twitches.

I've not washed the wife's Passat in a couple of months.

I say not washed. I may have cleaned the wheels front and back a few times. And the inside has been hoovered. I must confess to having snow foamed it twice too.

But not properly washed.

OCD ish

Confession time. Had the Vectra washed this afternoon - as the soap was going on (hand car wash, not precious over this car as a stop gap) I realised I was going to post a picture here!

Doing 1k miles next week so if the salt stays it'll soon be black again!

I will post a picture my Ciroen Berlingo 1.6 HDi soon. About 700 miles in 3 days of Salt/Dirt/Grit.

Not as bad as some on here, but I love clean cars. smile

You hit a nerve there.

A mate lent me his Firsta a few years ago. It was a tip.

It went back cleaned, clayed, polished and waxed.

He barely noticed.

My OCD satisfaction was immense though.

I do too and I've all the grit guards, buckets and most of the Autoglym and Meguairs range but with the Vectra I've just not been bothered - although I was also seeing how long I could go! The OH's GTi though will get a proper hand wash at the weekend.

I love clean cars! I do also love to see proper dirt though. If I am honest, when I get a car I probably woudn't clean it during the winter months. I know that is the worst time not to clean it, but I would just give it to our local 'Shiny' car wash. I don't like icy driveways. nono

I quite like how mucky our Citroen is in such a short amount of time.

NOTE: I ALWAYS MAKE SURE LIGHTS/NUMBER PLATE/TAX DISK ARE ALWAYS VISIBLE.

Make the bad men stop. I feel like Rainman.

I'll post some pics up of the wife's car tomorrow.

Like an anti Detailing World thread.

Will grab a picture of mine tomorrow, not bothered with cleaning the outside in weeks.
Hoovered and cleaned the seats/dash etc last week though.

Think the mirca wins the manky award though.
