Dirty Cars Winter 19/20

[Stussy]

This was my milk tanker last night after just 9 hours!
They get jetwashed back to white every 12 hours
No rain, no salt, just wet Cornish B roads at night

[carlove]

My car was serviced on Monday. The bds washed it, looking better already I must say.

[bern]

Work in progress!



Had to clean the number plate and lights though.

[warninglight]

Time to clean the plate on the daily. Mostly Cumbrian roads with the odd blast on the M6 over the past few weeks.

There really are some fantastic efforts this year!

Top work everyone!

Was spotless...now filthy. 7 days of my regular commute.





Is it even worth trying to keep it clean???

Might be worth switching that rear wiper on now and again!?

Now there's an idea! I thought it was strange to always have brown cars following me ??

I'm actually baffled that you've not wiped that. It makes me think you're not a very good driver - you don't look behind you. And this is a motoring forum...

As I say, baffled.

Hundreds and thousands of van drivers/bus drivers/wagon drivers/etc manage without a rear view mirror or back window. Doesn't make a bad driver.

not mine but deserves a mention....



sides were as dirty as well

That's gonna take some beating surely? No discernable characters on the reg at all and god knows what colour it is

Dont have anything to contribute myself unfortunately. Dailying a white mk3 Supra at the moment and my OCD (and fear of the tinworm) wont allow me to go without cleaning it for more than a couple of days.

Did make the mistake of using the pop-up headlight washers the other day though, not an hour after washing and polishing it. Sprayed grime over the whole damn car.....

[Bungleaio]

I could really do with washing this tomorrow. You can't really tell there's a stripe on the lower part of the doors any more.

Yeh I avoid wiping my rear window so headlights from behind are dulled out.

Had to wash the 4 series today, it's been two weeks and it was really annoying me.
Even though it's silver and looked ok from a distance I just can't deal with it being filthy. The foam left in the drive after I rinsed it was beige.

Last week it was below zero all weekend so I just cleaned the windows, number plates and lights. I think I may have issues!

One week for daily driver

A fine choice of car there, if I don't say so myself. The twin turbo D5 really is a peach of an engine.

Well there you go. I didn't realise the D5 ever went to a twin turbo setup!

Around 2010 iirc, 205 bhp and then later on 215bhp before it was finally killed off. Mines just as economical as my old Euro3 version as well, but considerably punchier.

After another 400 motrway miles and some rural Cornish roads the grime is coming along quite nicely.

My route is mainly all back roads so find myself looking forward rather than backwards. (Call me old fashioned I know). Wing mirrors are super clean and I can still see surprisingly clearly despite the look of it in anycase.

I love a V70 looking like a workhorse!

[Small Car]

I use all my cars regardless of the weather but the dirtiest at the moment is the Skoda...



Am doing 1,000 miles in the Bentley Brooklands on Monday / Tuesday marshalling on HERO Le Jog so I suspect there will be some interesting pictures from that!

The other half’s car. I don’t clean cars in the winter, just the windows, headlights and number plates so plenty of time to get even dirtier.

Lovely colour and even nicer dirty!

[MellowshipSlinky]

This was my best ever effort.
A few hours off roading but then had to drive 2 hours home.
The colour underneath is black..

Here's my current daily piece of chod...


Hasn't had much of a chance to get really filthy but I'll give it a go...
