FAO Black Car Owners..

[Pedro]

How often do you clean your car, out of interest?

 

[Ian_182]

Every day if it was black

 

[Tyssen]

Do you mean to ask how often does it NEED cleaning?
Everyday - but cos I have a life tend to do it once a week - nightmare to keep clean!

Best colour though IMO

 

[Pedro]

It certainly is, when clean ofcourse

I only ask this because im in the process of buying one currently, and almost certainly, have my work cut out for me..

 

[SexyKelly]

every week without fail. pain in the backside, but it look sooo good when it's clean.

Seeing as im only doing 3 days a week at college, now im finishing off. I seem to clean my clio everytime it gets dirty.. like every 3 or 4 days. Still need to spend a good 4 hours one day getting all the swirl marks out etc.

 

[cafcross]

every week now. in fact i'd say once every 4 days

 

[R20 CWH]

ideally once a week. weather dictates alot of that though

 

[bmh.01]

I used to do mine once a week if it was lucky, well never have a black car again I don't think. Looked ace when it was shiney though.

Very tidy, wouldn't change anything. And i'm usually picky.

 

[T-Bag]

It NEEDS cleaning every hour or so

I tend to do it every couple of weeks as I get a bit depressed over my hard work not lasting long.

 

[Pedro]

I think id be the same...

Especially as this car ive put a deposit down on is EXTREMELY clean..()

 

[rich-6]

In the summer i used to wash mine every couple of days, Winter though it would go for a few weeks untouched

 

[Pedro]

I miss my Artic when it came to cleaning..

 

[Beef-Mc]

Depends on how often you drive it.

Rich's black is always spotless...

Thats the problem ill have..as it's me thats buying Rich's car..

 

[N!CK R]

Well you cant buy his car and not keep it as clean as it was when he had it!
You'll need to clean it every day.

 

[Pedro]

Argh..Well It'll get more or less the same treatment, i have no free garage though unfortunatly..

 

[cg172]

You MUST dedicate your life to keeping that car clean. It's legendary for it's cleanliness. We may all cry if you get it dirty.

 

[Bazzon]

I would clean it every day but at uni i can not so maybe once a month (if its lucky)

I know

I hear it's the holy grail of this place..

 

[Beef-Mc]

You know your not allowed to do more than 1.5K in it per year eh? :rasp:

 

[Pedro]

Oh yes!

That shocked me abit!!

It is a gorgeous looking car though

 

[Anim@l]

OMG. You will have your work cut out to keep it in beyond concourse condition! Good luck with it though. He got caught an the rain on the way up to FCS last year and got all emotional! I've got a Black Gold, but it is in no way as good as Mr Treen's!

 

[cg172]

"Better than a brand new one" I think is how the MOT tester described it, if I remember correctly...

 

[HartZ]

it looks the best when done but takes a lot of time and effort to do! I try to clean mine once every week at the minimum

 

[Pedro]

Blimey..

It will break my heart if i ever see it dirty

/rushes off to buy detailing products

 

[KDF]

Owning a black car will ruin your life and you bank account..

 

[Ian_182]

Great colour when its clean though

 

[KDF]

Oh ye.. without any doubt when cleaned its the best colour !! heh!

 

[Gaz_]

Owning a black car will ruin your life and you bank account..

True. I sold my BG 182 as it depressed me

 

[Bazzon]

Alot of effort, But OMG it can look nice

 

[Track'd]

[Gaz_]

True, looks just like my old steed,

 

[Beef-Mc]

Got a good shine to it that does!

 

[Gaz_]
