With rain comes dirt, dirt all over the car that was once kept pristine during the summer months (or should I say summer week!)

So, who currently has the dirtiest car amongst us? Here's mine

Awwww no! I may have won this yesterday but I attempted to clean it with a jet wash... Saying that, for some reason the dirt appears to have only partially been removed and has streaked... So I'll get a snap soon! Haha

I've been eager to do mine to be fair but it's tipped it down almost every day for what seems forever.

It is for me... It never looked dirty prior to winter, but I must admit I do begrudge washing it knowing that it's going to be covered in crap on the first drive.

The wheels aren't silver underneath either haha

And that's why I'll never own another black car... You can't keep them clean longer than a couple of hours.

Pahaha! Don't worry, many people think it's black... But yeah, bonus really as it doesn't look all that dirty really... Just a different colour lol

Wish I could say the same.

Wish I spotted this before I let the other half clean the car. Took the niece to my other niece's horse. Car was full of mud on the outside and sawdust on the inside. I'd have won hands down.
I feel a mucky competition coming on haha

After it was cleaned today, just got home and this is just a sample of how bad it now is

and I bet that's with things driving past it as well! Tractors hitting puddles can be pretty messy Lol
I still don't win but the grit is doing a number in my car!

Hahaha I don't like it being dirty but I do about 500 miles a week....so no point wasting time or money cleaning it when it will be dirty a fee days later. I always clean the inside though [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Thats exactly my thinking... especially now we've just been graced with snow, it'll be even worse!

Think mines due a good wash but with me doing 500 miles a week seems to be no point.

Make sure you keep the plate clean, they fine you on the spot for that
I do similar mileage mate. I've got a 260 round-trip planned for tomorrow alone I just couldn't do it anymore Haha.
