Exactly. I sit inside my car when i drive it. granted i want it to look nice.... but it was bought to be used, not cleaned!

Am the same every 3 or 4 days if the weather is nice! Use to spend hours a day on my wee Polo machine polishing it and deatiling it. Golf is too new to be deatailed yet, has had a coat of AutoGlym HD Wax though  :smiley:

Its nice to go out a wee run in the Golf in a nice day when its gleaming. Didnt spend 20K+ on a car for it to look like f*** all  :sad:

If I get a spec of dirt on my car its on my mind till I've got it washed off and looking gleaming again.

Some people are just plain dirty, lazy and don't give a toss. I can only imagine how manky their houses are.  :sick:

There's another new GTI lives about 100 metres from me, don't know the owner but he got it just after I got mine [15 March]
I swear he's not cleaned that car since he got it, it's filthy and the tailpipes are nearly black [no chrome at all to be seen]
Now I might be a liitle anal when it comes to cleaning cars, but come on, why buy a new GTI then just leave it to collect filth?  :shocked: :huh:



Like kev said he is probably just lazy,is his front garden a mess ?
Golfgti build quality is average at best.

It's probably a company car so the bloke couldn't give two f**ks about it.

Whenever I go to London I see a load of mangled nearly new desirable models that are bought by people who have heaps of money, want the image and just can't be bothered with them as they are too busy living the high life.
