i cleaned my car last tuesday night as it was black.
that was after like 150 miles.
so from tuesday to today i've done about 200 miles and look at the state of it:
and then the hosepipe was frozen so couldn't clean it this morning.

i agree with the dirt
its worst when you have no water in your washers and your driving blind with dirt

like soaks the mud off and then with a rinse it should just fall off.

You should of seen the back street when I done all three cars today, looked like it had been snowing lol
Then I drove home
Looking at the pic above pip I think your car would suit some dark alloys

yeah its ridiculous how dirty my car gets in the winter lol, i'd rather have to keep it clean though than crash and wreck it on the ice at the end of day. My neighbours think im mental the amount and condition i'm out washing my car in lol I told a passer by who questioned why I was bothering "it keeps my mind off heroin" lol he gave me a strange look and went on his way haha
plus, cleaning your car I find is a good cure for a hangover, which I find myself with lots over the weekends at this time of year
