Do you...

[DevilDamo]

...hate driving your car when it's dirty but when it's clean, you fall back in love with it? Or... is that just me? Haha! Mine's filthy at the mo... as I bet a lot of others are. At the mo, I just don't want to drive it and don't care how much dirtier it gets. BUT... I'm hoping to give it a bit of tlc this weekend and I'll be watching out for every puddle, mud, etc... Haha!

 

[Skinny]

I drive mine round covered in bird s**t. Meh, the girls love it.

 

[Mawv]

Yeh, im a bit like that aswell. Esp when you have spent ages cleaning it making it look all spick and span.

 

[Paul.]

after i spend a decent amount of time cleaning mine i try n keep it like that for as long as possible but as soon as i see dirt up the sides it gets ''used'' lol

 

[DrR]

Mine drives better when it's clean

 

[Invexis-]

i dont know why.
but i love a dirty car?

especially a silver one.

hmmm.


then again, i also like spotless ones.

 

[Alastair.]

i like a clean interior, feels nice?????

 

[Mostro]

Nah, I like the dirty sl*g look.

Looks too prim and proper when it's shiny

 

[alex-avfc]

clean interior has to be done im afraid vacuum and dash wipedown is a weekly occurance for me...sad maybe but oh well!

 

[Invexis-]

[Invexis-]

[Ash87]

havent cleaned mine since boxing day, gets to a point when the dirty look becomes cool lol may just be me tho!

 

[Ads_172]

I hate being in my car when it's full of crap and dusty - an unfortunate requirement when it's the mrs' daily. Drives much better when all cleaned and all 'avoidable' rattles removed!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Used to be, I actually love it looking really dirty atm for some reason which is handy as I cba to do anything about it lol.

Don't like a messy interior though, but waiting until I get those car mats until I proper clean it!

 

[Jaff]

mine doesperform at its best when its spotless, or when its completley manky and when i mean many i mean you would think it was ordered brown with black wheels. i really need to clean mine but when i clean it i clean it for about 5 hours but I only do that every 2 months, usually it gets a quick blast once a week if its lucky with a steam geny.

 

[Curley]

I drive slower after a good detail:

1. to try and not get it too dirty lol and 2. so people can admire it aswell as myself

 

[fUbAr]

im not bothered in the slightest... winter doesnt bring out the Inferno paint very well, clean or dirty tbh.

 

[Struggler]

haha thats me,
when its dirty i accually want to sell it,
but once its clean i love it again,
perhaps its the shine that i like

 

[Goders172]

Yeah monaco looks sh*t e dirty, when its dirty i start looking to upgrade, but once i clean it again im happy to keep it a little longer lol.

 

[jeffymw]

I can't stand when it's dirty. So I wash it at least once a week. Sometimes twice a week.
But one thing that pissed me of is after I wash my baby and the next day when I wake up in the morning and you see some bird shxt on it.....

 

[Mostro]

I keep the interior tidy - ie nothing loose sliding about, no sweet wrappers etc...., and it gets hoovered every now and again when the gravel in the footwell gets deep enough

Impossible to keep in spotless with kids in and out every day.

Doesn't really equate with you avatar that....... :rasp:

I bet you look at your reflection in shop windows as you drive past too!


Balls to that, it's for driving.

 

[Pedro]

I hate driving my car when its dirty, but this is partly down to the fact that it had such a high reputation for being clean in the first place, especially when i saw it for my own eyes the day i bought it off Rich..


Now i clean it as much as possible. Actually which im going to do in 5 mins...

 

[m4rkie23]

id definately say that my car 'feels' nicer to drive when its clean!

i know thats silly, but i think she apprecicated being clean and thanks me with a nicer ride.....lol

sods law?

 

[KirstyTL]

It's a bit hard keeping the car clean at this time of year when you live surrounded by muddy lanes. How that car looks on the outside doesn't change how I feel about driving it. If it's cold inside then I'm not very happy.

 

[DaveDreads]

The inside of my car is covered in dog hair and the outside is
covered in filth, I prefer it like that.
I undertand that some peoples cars are their pride and joy, but for me
lifes to short to care about how my car looks, its mechanically sound and that good enough for me, I bought it to drive not to look at.

Also the amount of post that read,
"just waxed my car and someones keyed it!"
People like to mess with a nice car,
I dont live in the best area so when its dirty no-one looks at it twice.

 

[Naith]

mine looks alot better when clean, summit just doesnt look right when its filthy

exactly the same as me! when it was dirty realy didnt enjoy driving it, but just washed, polished and waxed it this morning, and can't wait to get out driving it now. nice and slowly to avoid any signs of dirt in frotn of me.:approve:

 

[Christophe]

i get the same lol love it when its gleaming. Which is why i need to clean it once a week

very sad but i cringe when i see a fat ass lorry coming towards me and the road is slightly wet.

 

[Eckascliovalver]

My car looks s**t dirty! I always keep it clean.

TBH this was in my black one and i only became the stig when i got this car.

I've not given the 182 a proper detail yet but im guessing when i do, i'll be the same :boring:

There is one window in town which more like a mirror, i love it! I take a trip there at least twice a day!

These sports do look good dirty though, they look like they are meant to be dirty but saying that once clean i'd have it no other way.

 

[Struggler]

wow i NEEED some motivation,

mines filthy all year,
its just too cold outside to clean cars,
and once ur hands get wet,
and go numb
eugh, nightmare

 

[JT182]

I hate having a mucky car, I mean properly hate it! Really OCD about it, I drive my car daily, and always without fail give it a wipe down before I put it in the garage for the night. I have the mentality that I am young, and have in my opinion a brilliant car, so it's my duty to keep it immaculate.

 

[Mostro]

Christ there's a lot of OCD in this thread!

Have you people not got more in your lives than worrying about it bit o' road grime on yer car....?! :rasp:

 

[DebV6]

I hate my car being dirty but it doesn't stop me wanting to drive it! I much prefer it being clean but with the weather how it has been mine's probably the dirtiest it's ever been! Infact I'm seeing how dirty I can get it before I wash it at the weekend!

 

[2 live]

cars for driving..not cleaning.....or so i thought.


dirty/clean..........doesnt change how it handles....doesnt bother me then

 

[Ads_172]

Placebo effect for me.
