Clean or Dirty...........

[stephen wilson]

I agree with Pothole, I would love to always have a spotless car, but in the summer I drive it several days a week. I just don't have the time to wash it every week, and I don't have to patience to spend hours polishing it. I have sort of a Monthly cycle, after washing it I'll only drive on dry days, but as it gets a bit dirty I'll drive it rain or shine. I'm very much a "drive it" type, not a "show car" type.

This is simular to my routine & pretty easy to maintain here in So.CA.

One of these days I will install a whole house water filter so I can just spray off the dust between washings to keep it looking good.

Like so many here, I used to be anal about washing my cars, but they were all black and looked like they needed it more often.

Now, she gets wahsed every couple of weeks. Since she is grey I don't really notice how "dirty" the car is, but when I am done washing I always wonder why I don't do it more often.

I really enjoy cleaning my car so its always as clean as it can be, having said that when it goes on a driving holiday it stays as is until it gets home.
I saw a filthy Speed Yellow 968 up in Scotland a few years back in an area of great driving roads - I couldn't help but smile and give him the thumbs up as I knew he'd been enjoying his car as Stuttgart intended.
