Something about the little Fabia, the muck seems to lick-up the back of the car. Must be the short over-hang as my Superb doesn't get anywhere near this dirty on the same roads...

My old vRS last winter went a few weeks without a wash. I had to remove the salt, I couldn't sleep!

:wall:  :wall:  Why didn't I look at the forum before I spent hours cleaning mine, even the snow foam had issues getting it clean.

only have to wait a week or so and it will have changed colour again.

Grrrr someone wrote 'clean me' on mine tonight while I was at work. Would love to have caught them in the act!!

Here is my dirty Yeti, a couple of weeks since a wash and filthy!

I like the Yeti in white. It really shows the accumulation of detritus to it's full potential :thumbup:

Is there a prize? My Fabia doesn't show the dirt too much but I'm willing to not wash or clean it until March 1st :happy:

I'll give you a like if you leave it till march

that'd be great but the MOT's due soon. Can they fail you on 'excessive build up of crap'?

What will I get if I leave mine till March?

Does spilling half a bag of salted peanuts with the resulting mess of the interior count?  :think:

Got a large proportion of Grizedale forset in there too.

 

Pine needles are an absolute arse to get out of the carpet.  :devil:

drawing cocks on cars for fun. Reminds me of a FB page :D

Yes, lights and registration plates not visible from a reasonable distance (20 metres), or the tester could refuse to test it.

I'll give 'em a quick wipe with an oily rag :)

I've been letting the Fabia continue to get filthy.  I've been thinking about upgrading headlight bulbs though as I do a lot of motorway miles in the dark at the moment.  A friend suggested cleaning my headlights, so I have using white vinegar.  I used a light blue cloth which is now a dark brown colour, and it seems my headlights actually light the road ahead now.

 

The rest of the car is still filthy though :)

I was gunna let my car accumulate a few weeks direst before posting a full picture but I caved today and gave it a clean...

It is illegal not to display a legible registration plate and the rozzers will pull you for it and if they want to be funny can issue a fixed penalty notice :(

Then they will have an excuse to look at everything else as they sometimes do!

Not really road related, but here's one from me today :giggle:
