iNath Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 So with the upcoming winter months and general crap on the roads it's inevitable our pride & joy is going to get a little bit messy. Use this thread to show us how bad things get! After reading the detailing thread I think this may go down like a lead balloon and just become a competition between Michael & I.... This may horrify you but mine only gets washed once a month-ish. Only use normal car shampoo and nothing else. Tried using snowfoam today. Learnt my lesson NOT to do it again at temperatures below 0, snowfoam instantly freezes on the car trapping dirt underneath it! Dread to think what damage was done to the paintwork removing it... Anyway, on with the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNath Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Are those steel wheels on there for snow tyres? If so how much were they if you don't mind me asking? Yes they are :) Wheels were £50 off gumtree and tyres were £253 from Kwik Fit. More info in my thread here (pics in post #20) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strutter Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Cleaned mine last weeks end (Sun), the back of teh front arches took about 3 goings over with the shampoo and mitt to get the first off, mercifully the wax kept it loose but was still ground in, it tires me cleaning teh car so im jsut gonna live with it. I figure I have the proiducts to REALLY get the dirt off proper in teh better months. This weather its impossible, teh water freezes as your wiping the car down!

2011fiesta Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Came across this thread a while back and thought its about time it was resurrected what with the dirty wintery roads of late. I am hoping it snows soon, but then again on the other hand I'm sick of the roads being salty. This is the dirtiest my cars ever been. Can anyone beat S666LER's pic on page 1, or come close? Get snapping...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm tempted to not wash my car for a few months to try and beat him.... but I'd need to find a field to drive in too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2kea Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not as dirty as some. As dirty as it is, I like how you can still get a refection of the other cars in my drive. This is when I regret black. Better than white tho :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 As dirty as it is, I like how you can still get a refection Me too, same with mine. Panther black for the win. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
