Getting pissed off at cleaning my car!

[Se7en172]

I know it's white before you all start, and probably deserve it, BUT. I seem to be cleaning the car too much, 3 times a week at times, This weather is cocking me off, I clean it, looks stunning, drive 20 miles (back and forth to town) and the the car it black, has black s**t all over it. Then all my previous hard work seems pointless.
I am considering giving up cleaning it until the weather gets nice, or stop cleaning it obsessivley anyway, just stick to my usual once a week.
Any info how I can help prevent the car getting so stinking within 20 minutes of cleaning it?
Products that can help ect!

Only way is don't drive it lol - Black or White cars you are onto a no win situation before you start.

Chop it in for silver, I can go months with out cleaning it !

 

[Christopher]

Don't drive it.

Other than that, just once a week will suffice

 

[Se7en172]

Even sealed it and all the usual b****cks but it still gets stinking as is equally difficult to clean.

Lol, i cleaned my car 2 weeks ago, waxed etc it was stunning.

Woke up to find it covered in ice, and had to anti freeze the fucker, when it all cleared a few hours later it was disgustingly filthy arghh

You don't understand, it's white, and dirty white makes it look like you have a shitty grey colour car.
I have resorted to using a jet wash even because my usual 2-3 procedure of cleaning it has began to get a tad tedious

 

[Laura]

drove to work this morninmg now its covered in s**t, i clean my wheels a few times a week

 

[LiquidRich]

this is the problem with white, saying that LY's not much better I have to clean our 197 every week and we only use once or twice a week

 

[Rich]

A good sealant, and or wax, should mean a wash alone should leave it looking as good as when first waxed. Though in order to get this you need to spend a few quid on a decent wax.

Mine is so dirty the wing mirrors and rear quarters have this thick coating off greecey s**t!!!

Havent washed mine for 19days now eeeekk!!

What ones for white fella?

 

[Rich]

I would do Autoglym Super Resin, seal with JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger and get a few layers on it. Also worth getting as a pot of decent Carnuba wax, I would look into the Swissvax range and depending on your budget pick one.

I use the super resin polish as a sealent, what order do I apply these if I had all three?
Sealent last I assume!

 

[Rich]

Super Resin only has very limited protectional qualitys.

Order would be the AG SRP, then the Jeffs Sealant x 2 or 3 layers than add some Carnuba wax on top.

[MikeyK18]

the joys of having a white car

nothin you can do, so dnt moan about it

 

[Se7en172]

A silly question coming up, If you leave your car stinking for longer, does this have any adverse effects on the paintwork longterm?

 

[Rich]

As long as the paintwork is well protected you should see no adverse effects. The issues will be more so the road salt etc under wheels arches at this time of year.

You already know the answer:quiet:

Steve used to be into keeping his Trophy clean, I doubt things have changed ..

My car is minging at the moment, not been cleaned for about 3 weeks and driven back home and back in that time. But as its well sealed and waxed a decent pressure wash and a pre-foam will sort it right out. Although I REALLY need to get the wheels off and do the insides properly over Easter.

3 times a week though is totally pointless IMO at this time of the year - not to mention bloody cold! Save it for the summer...

Every 6 weeks is fine at this time of year

It is amazing how much free time I have now too, I get an extra day in the week, Sundays used to be spent recovering from Saturday/ cleaning the car for a god few hours. Although probably looking at a big session as soon as I get home, wheels off, might even get around the painting the callipers black as have been wanting to do that for ages!

 

[Se7en172]

My weekend seriously free'd up when I cut out my weekend Liquid based diet.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Let it get dirty and drive the bl00dy thing how it was intended. As long as it's cleaned in a good way then it'll be fine. Mine was last done 4 months ago and it looks pretty good considering it's 100,000 miles old and has never seen one of those egg whisk things! Only ever polished and waxed it by hand twice.

Dirt looks good.

 

[mace¬]

^^^^ Thats done 100K, that looks well smart, makes you think how some people treat their cars when you see sh!tters with only 30-40K on the clock.

 

[Phoenix]

wrap it up in cling film

 

[David Ramsey]

I washed mine last night, dried it then drove 40 miles on motorway and now it looks terrible. After the local meet on sunday it's getting a clean then locked away in the garage for a few weeks

 

[LegoHead]

mine hasnt been washed since october.

 

[Gaz_]

Meh. Black is far far worse than white, least you dont see all the marring/swirls on a white car. You can swap your White Cup for my Albi if you want?

 

[MarkCup]

LMFAO - don't clean it.

 

[daydotz]

i thought twice in less then a month was bad mine looks clean in places an not in others

 

[Sarah]

mine hasnt been washed for 3 weeks coz i crashed it and i cant bring myself to clean the car to see the damage properly:dapprove:

 

[Dafthead]

I haven't cleaned my car since October

edit: good skillz legohead

 

[Brand86]

Mine hasn't been done for about 3 weeks and it looks s**t, although even though its dirty like animal it still looks shiny due to the paint being in great nick, and I know a power wash and some snow foam will have it looking great again in no time.

Mine was around October time too. March 1st, it's getting a clean though.
