Why do people buy nice cars and not wash them in two months...

Makes it far harder to keep the car in decent condition come time you wish to sell..

Having said that...It does look rather Good!!

 

[John185k]

[Hooky108]

I've cheated a bit as the car has a permaguard protection, the paintwork is mint. although i do hang my head in shame for the length of time since cleaning it, i agree it should be looked after

 

[Christopher]

Only two month isn't to bad I've not washed mine personally for err about 12~18 months.

Why do people buy nice cars and not wash them in two months...

Whats the point? When I wash mine I find new scrates and damage plus the mud helps protect it.

 

[DebV6]

Looks lovely, I think cars look much better clean. Although it did suit it being a bit dirty

 

[one_eight_two]

[Justin]

looks nice.. must admit the trophy colour is growing on me.. do they have air con and xenons? or not?

must admit that with the permaguard treatment it has made the red a lot brighter (and lost some of the orange look it gets in some lights)

it has air con, but not xenons. with some upgraded bulbs you won't miss the xenon's and the recaro's are a nice extra :approve:

Rear seats in a bit more detail :

Leaving the mud on certainally dont protect it, it just covers the little scratches, then when washed off, creates more. Mud under the arches and in other little places leads to rust/rott. Even more so with the salt on the roads in the winter.

Im not a big car washing person, but if your gonna run a car the least you can do is wash it at very least twice a month. keep it looking respectable. im not saying wash/wax etc every week or whatever, just bucket of soapy water and a sponge twice a month.

P.S That trophy looks stunning clean! MINT car!

 

[Giles]

interior looks much better:approve:

 

[BREMBO]

[GinandGasoline]

:approve: thanks for the positive comments..... i'll be making more of an effort to try and keep the tomato looking good for the winter months, 3 days on and still gleaming and reminding me of how cool it is to have a clean car
