Given the weather here in sunny Cornwall hasn't stopped pissing down for what seems like weeks, my black car is absolutely minging inside and out.
Now personally, I can live with a dirty car on the exterior for a little while, but a dirty interior,?, I personally hate it.
Grit all over the carpets,dirt,dust etc it drives me mad.
We are supposed to have a small window of dryish weather tomorrow mid day for an hour or two, so do I clean the exterior so it looks nice and cared for to look at rather than the dirty black mess it looks like currently, or clean the interior?
No, I don't have a garage unfortunately either, that I can clean the interior in the dry.
So, PH, which do you prefer, a clean interior and live with the dirty exterior, or clean the exterior, and live with the dirty interior for a while?

Filthy animal biggrin

The exterior will remain clean for about a mile at this time of year.

A light misting of *fabreze, if you so choose, and you will be in heaven.

  • or some stuff you can nick from work.
Yeah, I'm one for a clean interior Red4, personally hate a dirty interior, but I parked the car up at home after work today, glanced back and Jesus, the poor thing looks like nobody owns it. frown
But on the other hand, I know it's going to get dirty again pretty quickly, but a dirty interior, I personally cannot live with.
So, it is clean the interior for me , given the choice of an hour or so free of rain and gale force windssmile

Your not the only one, a paint brush is my go to item when cleaning the interior.
I draw the line at a magic sponge though....

If the inside of my car is a tip though, I sort of get a bit of anxiety about what other people think of me if I give somone a lift.
Do they think that perhaps my house is a st tip as well? ( err, it isn't by the way, I'm very house proud)
Hmmm...

Perhaps it's the car salesman in me.
Whenever, I look at someone's part ex, sometimes, I don't even want to sit in it or touch it and you naturally think what must their house be like? Euuwww...Gross vomit
