Went out yesterday morning, was travelling on country roads for about 60 miles and my car was that dirty the numberplates and lights were not visable...
So when i got home i powerwashed it off, hovered it out, the general cleaning etc...

Today i go out again county roads...about 35 miles...

THE CAR IS WROTTEN!
Not cleaning it now till the weather gets better or i will be cleaning it everyday at this rate!

I went out to lift my bonnet up at lunch and along the lip of the bonnet it's just full of salt and I hate to know what it's doing to the paintwork.

I still wash it in this weather, keeps paint in better condition.

I was thinking the same thing this morning.
