Yep, but do the Skoda once a week regardless of weather (unless it raining!)

Did the XR2 too, but that had to be waxed too

Did my Fiesta yesterday, hadn't been washed since beginning of December. Got the pressure washer out to blast all the grit out behind the wheels and also did the rear axle, underneath the floor etc.
