The comment was due to you posting a picture which was like you had done it before. Expert

Hope that makes sense

Haha it was all guess work! Just got lucky with it.

Long time lurking may have helped too

I don’t know how you get cars so dirty. I haven’t cleaned my car since September. Do 140 miles on my commute never had a probably with dirty car in winter. Well not like some on here.

I actually find summer more annoying with bug splats.

Mines just from country lanes, bit of rain and the field are flowing into the roads.
5 minutes and my car is filthy.

Nice.

How are you finding the car? Looks very smart from the rear.

Really impressed, goes well (300bhp ish) good tech and very well sound deadened. Only downside is a tiny fuel tank so circa 330 miles at best with combined electric range. As a company car I really can’t think of anything I’d rather have.

Borrowed the girlfriends car while mine was in the garage

Manchester to Surrey, took that when stopped on the way down.

I swapped this for a Panda Cross on Wednesday, as the floods around our village would surely have finished it off.

Note the pristine nose. This is due to the bow waves the poor thing was making.

As clean as it's ever going to be.

Here’s mine after 3 weeks & 800 miles of Surrey’s A & B roads.

Photo doesn’t really do it justice as it’s a really thick crust.

Would it be fair to assume that you don't work in graphic design nor IT?

500 mile round trip to York and back last week, bought some of the M1 home with me

How much did it cost?

Other half is taking a couple of her colleagues in the car tomorrow so asked me to give it a quick pressure wash

I had to do the same! Mine feels (and looks) like a completely different car now. Will my colleagues notice? Probably not.

1,500 miles / 1 month later, kind of disappointing... the blue hides the caked on dirt too well!

This is probably going to be my best effort as it’s currently being washed as I post this

Should've left it like that :P

[james_TW]

Very dirty. Figured it needed a wash when I found myself saying to the kids "just don't touch the car".... Wish I'd taken a side profile of the car because it really was vile...

I would have done, why do you feel the need to wash a car just because is getting a lift in it?

She's taking a few of her employees to their Christmas lunch and it's so dirty she was worried they'd make their clothes dirty. The only clean part of the car was the drivers door sill where she gets in and out.

are all broken

Great looking car but never one for reliability, especially when you get people like my uncle who insist on buying them for £3 and expecting it to work, can see decent ones eventually being a good sought after classic, 3 I have dealt with have been nothing but liabilities which is a shame because the early ones look fantastic, but with those and other experiences of Mitsubishi's I wouldn't ever go near one again, even though another Legnum does keep calling me I will resist
