Bit of a random thought this. I had my car valeted today, looks the best it has ever looked. On the drive home I realised I was in much less of hurry and drove much slower than usual, I do the same after I wash it myself too, I continue to do so until the car is dirty then drive quicker again. Anyone else do this? I don't mean driving slower to avoid getting dirty, just generally take more care over the way they drive, let more cars out at junctions and stuff. Anyone, or am I alone in this?

Not just me then it seems. Mine rarely gets cleaned too. I never get a day off to do it, hence paying someone to do it today, it previous looked like I'd been drifting around muddy fields, which isn't all that far from the truth. I've also noticed I get the best MPG from a clean car.
