Re: How often do you guys wash you car?

I usually only wash mine after i've been through a few trails (And then leave it for a week or until too many people complain to me to wash it). At least less people will want to park next to you and dent your doors!
Anyone know where to go to get your engine cleaned? Mine is filthy of mud.

I don't - that task is reserved for the owner - after she's washed the dogs, put out the garbage etc etc emoticon

Re: How often do you guys wash you car?

Hi folks,
What colour is your car after the "Dust Storm" ?
Who has the dirtiest vehicle tonite ? ( not talking about the other "dirty")
Does a white, black or other colour car show the dust more.
Where was your black beast Jalal inside or out in the dust? emoticon

I don't think it matters what colour your car was before today cause they're all red now. emoticon

It's always parked outside (under cover) but there was no hiding from the red dust, so I thought someone switched my car when I woke-up in the morning LOL emoticon

Gave it a quick hose down in the morning but looked up at the sky and thought I'd leave the complete full wash to the aliens landing to take us away. hahahaha emoticon

My wife's Corolla is bright red, so it didn't show the dust as much as mine emoticon

I thought I was the only one wondering if Jalal's was kept in the garage that night emoticon

I cleared out the garage of all the left-over junk and yet-to-be-used materials for our current kitchen/laundry/verandah reno just so I could fit the X-Trail back in there, as I was worried next door's Eucalyptus tree was going to drop another big branch on our driveway again with all the high winds... Interestingly the X-Trail still seems rather clean, but there is a film of red dust all throughout the house (even with all the windows and doors shut!) and the polished floorboards were quite slippery from the dust.

I was expecting to see photos posted by Jalal of his black-and-chrome X-Trail with red "air-brushing"... emoticon

Gave the exy a quick hose down this morning as it looked more brownish red rather than blue emoticon

It now is blue with red splotches emoticon

Oh Jalal, as soon as I saw that dust storm I thought of you. Imagine getting the chrome Exy covered in red dust and not even having fun getting it that way. emoticon

I hope you've fixed the situation and got it clean again.

Mind you, there is another dust storm forecast for tomorrow. So I think my car washing might wait another day or so.
