| Only washed the car 2 days ago an its already filthy!  bring on the warm weather an rain to wash it all away. doesnt help having to park on a main road though.    depressing driving round in a filthy car, especially when ive got car cleaning ocd, but is there much point in cleaning it? post ur pics up, see who's the worst. |

| I washed mine in tesco Holyhead last night before that it was filthy and my windscreen has a bit of filth on it from driving into work this morning. If all goes well my plan is give the car a polish tomorrow while the sun is out to protect the paint from the evil salt. |

Polishing won't protect the paint. You'll need a sealant or wax for that. |

Mine now has so much wax all it need is a rinse and some chem guys QD.  _________________ "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit" McLOVIN - RE: Polo Show 2011 - There was a ginger alert at the gate??
