mines not so bad at the moment because i waxed it last weekend in the freezing cold, however winter does seem to bring out the problems with cars - mine seems to develop a new problem every week..

LMAO! I kinda like to keep motors clean during winter, cos of the road salt. If that sh1t hits ur car its like instant rust, man.

My car is about as bad as Ste's, a couple of weeks dirt is on there, and with the car being white it makes it look even worse :roll:

mine is ditched, its got dirty hand prints all over it
my cars surprisingly clean and its white :?
the inside of mine aint bin cleaned for ages! and i aint got round to wireing all the ice back up! its gonna be half kinda finished by the MK meet :|
it dont even look like my sig nemore?
the inside of mine is spotless...
but the outside... :?
let's just say it's a white car, and i've been driving down the country roads a lot :wink:
handbraking in the mud :lol:
LOL..until last week, mine hadn't been washed in MONTHS..
It was so dirty, I had to use 3 buckets of water to clean the thing :lol:
Then after a day, I decided to go the country way instead of in the 15 min traffic queue, and it was dirtier than it was when I first washed it :lol:
Nice and clean now tho (until tomorrow!) :wink:
The inside aint been cleaned for a long time :lol:
mine was clean until about 1/4 to 9 this morning when i went sideway's across the grass at craner curves doing about 80. it all went down hill from there. ditched now. mud up both side, bonnet/bumper/window's covered in 2nd hand oil, thank's to a v6 serria, and all the wheels are black with brake dust.
lol "where theres smoke theres a sierra"
mine did have 2 weeks worth of muck on it, been out surveying up in the hills alot recently so it was rank.
thsi is an idea of how clean it is now

get some wax or polish..
you'l find less crap sticks to it, and if u hose it off, it'l just wash clean. And no marks will be left.
Wax/polish is good.

thought you were gonna blame me for that :lol:
steel wont corrode in environments of 37% salt or more, as the salt absorbs the oxygen, so the steel can oxidse.
so you could rub loads of salt over it to try and combat the rust. but hey.
a clean shiny omega WILL do mroe mpg. but the cost of a wash + wax out weighs the money saved in fuel
thought you were gonna blame me for that :lol:
lol i had to was that of it was that bad :wink:
so was r lass's car after our little motorway escaped had to wash it as i kept getting me clothes mucky brushing past it :evil: :lol:
i'm trying harder now... :lol:
