I had to use my trackcar for work for 3 days earlier in the year!

This is what 600 roadmiles in february does for it!





I prefer it looking filthy, it just adds to the "slightly fucked" look!

I'm the same! Nice to see someone else whose world doesn't drop out of their arsehole if a bit of muck gets on the doors.

I am usually really bad for cleaning my cars... Probably because my Corsa is silver and doesn't show up dirt, and my last car (Vectra) was also silver and didn't show up dirt!!

Audi is black though, and looks dirty all the time

Interiors are clean though

i must say cars look a lot better clean and well waxed with a nice shine on.i never let my car get dirty as soon as it starts getting dirty i wash it with chemical guys citrus car shampoo then dry off with a meguiars terry towel.then apply poorboys paint sealer then apply meguiars nxt generatin polish the results are stunning after

menis - a quick heads up - any product that says polish will strip off protection. use something that says wax. or stick with your cuurent products but use the megs nxt polish before the poorboys paint sealer. also with the pb paint sealer how long do you leave it on a pannel? if you can leave it on for 1/2 to an hour you'll get a much better shine. hth unless you knew it already of course lol.
