I think it's clever how they can design the aerodynamics in such a way that the crap is sucked to the middle of the cars rear, yet leave the outer lights relatively clean.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Tbh I've given up cleaning my car over the winter haha. As soon as you wash it, the hatch gets so dirty a day later it's just not worth the 2 hours

Don't give up  :grin: 

The dirty hatch is the killer though.  Sometimes feel the same way, tempted not to bother cleaning it at all, just let it  fester for the winter, but then I cave in.   

The other day had to swap cars with my partner so he had to locate mine in my works car park.  By my standards it was filthy, but he said he found it straight off as it was still the cleanest one in the car park.  All that effort not totally wasted then  :wink: :grin:

It's currently looking very sorry for itself on the driveway  :sad:

When I had my Mk4, we had been to watch the Rally GB in South Wales and were heading over to Oxfordshire afterwards. On one bit of dual carriageway I had a flash from a camera, but fortunately the car was so dirty that your couldn't tell where the numberplate was, let alone read it.

As long as my car stays cleaner than the one I saw today I'll be happy ... I think its a Ford Fiesta ...



I'm not far off mind ...

Yep, yours is definately cleaner than that fiesta.  Wonder how bad it has to get before they finally get the sponge out  :whistle:

Whitehawk, yours looks like you've driven it round here for a morning. My Passat hasn't had a wash for 3 weeks and looks like that Fiesta. I saw a 307 yesterday that even puts mine to shame on the dirt stakes.
