Is it worth cleaning the car..?

Cleaned the car on Wednesday and its filthy with salt off the roads cos of the freezing temperatures.

So should I clean it again today to get all the salt and dirt off, or take the view that it'll be dirty again within three days so may as well leave it... confused.gif

Don't even think about letting Claudine getting any dirtier Ari. NONO3.GIF

I always try and tell myself that, ok yes its going to get dirty again, but at least it won't be as dirty as if I hadn't cleaned it - if you get my drift tongue.gif

PS Once I have done mine, I have the do the other halfs too UHOH7.GIF

You are of course all quite right! notworthy.gif

Spent an hour or two giving her a damn good clean before lunch, then decided as it was a nice day, and I've not had chance since I bought her, I'd go and get some nice photos of her.

Did that, then on the way home I found myself roof down, Bose on, and taking the scenic route.

And I just drove and drove! ECLIPSe.gif

God I love this car... smlove2.gif

I'll get some photos of the my new baby up in the gallery later when the camera battery has recharged. smile.gif

Nice and Shiny mate......Wife's car is filthy - she has scooby at her parents as the Audi's handbreak is stuffed at present.......Drove up to the sailing Club in a blizzard thinking....do I really want to go sailing in this...?

Got there and it's a cold as a cold thing on cold day who has been to cold land....Cloudy too....so grab a few bits and bobs from the chandlers (some how got to £250 EEK2.GIFEEK2.GIFEEK2.GIF) and came home as I might sail tomorrow instead.....Get home and the Flippin sun comes out......Bu66er, should have gone yotting.......

Oh well, maybe tomorrow....

Best to wash it as often as you can and especially in this weather where there are all manner of nasties on the roads, which all contribute to dull the finish of your car.

Also remember to jet wash underneath the car as well if you can.

CAR WASH!!! Are you mad! Repent please...

John.

Yeah the fecking car wash. And yeah it is an automated one too smlove2.gif

They Jetwash, then brush by hand, then you drive through a foam spraying hoop followed by a water spray that rinces the grit off before going into the nasty ROLLLLERS FIREdevil.gifFIREdevil.gifFIREdevil.gif

What would this do to a ragtop? jump.gif

Actually, according to the handbook you can put an Audi Cabrio through a mechanical car wash.

Assuming you have no heart and soul whatsoever though, obviously!!! Flush.gif

Just cleaned mine, although its fecking freeezing out there, the end result is worth it. It been a pretty sunny day here so the car is gleaming, just a shame its not warm too.. she needs a good scrub and waxing.

I didn't clean the R last weekend, 'cos there was a North wind blowing across our drive and I know that my hands would've been like icicles at the end of it.

That's the first week I've not washed it in nearly 4 months of owenership!

However, I have to say that it got on my nerves last week as it really was filthy, so in the end I washed it on Saturday afternoon, and it looks as good as new again now - I'm so glad I made the effort.

I've cleaned mine about 3 times this week! it's just getting so caked in salt and grime that i can barely see the original paint underneath.

I dont think i'll bother now though, cos as soon as i drive down the road, it's filthy again smashfreakB.gif

either that or i can clean mine and use the missus's Yaris whilst the roads are dirty jump.gif
