So how often does everyone wash they beloved VWs?
I like to keep mine resonabley clean. Living in the city helps with that as there's no lanes or tractor routes so mud is very low. Running drilled discs creates a lot of dust though so I usually wash the wheels at least once a week.
-
I'd probably say two to three times a month in the summer but she usually gets a right good clean and polish if I'm going to a show. I'm afraid I can't be @arsed in the winter though and she does get neglected a little when it's cold and wet but I'll take it to the £5 car wash just to get all the cr@p off it. :smiley:

Natural car oils combined with dirt can make you waterproof all the things a mk3 needs for sailing tarmac sea. :tongue:
-
pretty much every week unless i'm busy, sometimes twice a week if it gets ultra dirty or bird shat upon
black cars need more lovin :)
-
I give the car a clean once a week,and the BBS splits a clean three times a week :smiley:
-
it depends on the weather!!! if its good i clean it alot, but that can be a nightmare as when the suns out its harder work, if its sh!tty weather then theres no point. it used to be every week, sometimes a few times a week, but recently its been every other week. in fact i'm planning on washing it tonight!
-
once or twice a week!
-
Once maybe twice a week and a weekly autoglyming! think I'm starting to polish the paint off though :grin:
-
you can never clean too often!!
-
try to do it once a week, i live right in the sticks so it gets filthy really quick!
-
every week :smiley:
though, when i had a mk3, i washed it every day :undecided: OCD tbh :laugh:
-
Once or twice a week or if I can also it depends on the seagulls I'm sure the bu66ers follow me about wait just until after I've washed it :angry: :angry:
-
i try and wash it once a week, but i dont know why i bother, the birds take a fancy to it and for ever cr@pping on it, and also i live in such a dusty area because of all the factorys and road works that when i wash it, as soon as i start drying it i can see dust on it all ready!!! it annoys me so much, i'd like a clean car for at least a hour!!!!! :angry:
-
i try to keep it clean as poss and carry some turtle wax tar remover with me for those bird droppings.
for some reason it looks good when its dirty :laugh:
-
not nearly as often as i shud... :undecided: but seeing as shes had a paint job...gonna hav to start lookin after her... :laugh:
Dinx :kiss:

-
about 2-3 times a month, Black is so a nightmare color though. Shows up the dirt like anything,
Also you so can't wash it in the sun, streak city! :grin:
-
1-2 times a week in the summer and once a week in the winter, cause as soon as you move in the winter its bogging
-
every 2-3 months!!! lol

-
Usually once a fortnight tho not done it for nearly a month cos been busy moving house and just got back from a camping holiday. Its in a right state at the mo..... :embarassed:
-

-
