Personally have always been in the why bother trying to clean it in the winter so my Pure White is really a nice grey at the moment and is likely going to stay that way.

If do actually clean it, usually when wife moans clothing is getting dirtied, then you really can see how dirty it actually is as huge swathes of white appear

So white is surprisingly a good colour as it does camouflage the dirt quite well and far better than my 2 previous black cars which always looked terrible when dirty.

Mine hasnt been washed for weeks because it has rained every weekend. Off all next week though so it will be geeting the works as long as it stays dry.

Mine is so filthy at the minute (live well in the country) that I'd be embarrassed to post a picture. Really need to sort it out at the weekend.

That's the point of this thread - posting a pic of your dirty car.  Come on get pics up of your shameful motors.  :laugh:

Mine's the dirtiest it's been since I got it in Sept.  Bit dark to photo now (it being black and all) so might post a pic tomorrow although the current rain might have cleaned it by morning.

3 weeks since the last wash - little things like kids, job, life, rain, etc, keep getting in the way!  It's not too bad atm, but still pretty dirty by my standards.  Was hoping to give it a clean today but events have conspired against me. Will have to live with the grime a while longer  :cry:

Here it is in it's filthy squalor....

Shocking but still strangely alluring.

Walked out of my local curry house last night to be met with a wonderful sight.
A gleaming oryx white 5 dr R, sporting Cadiz wheels.
It looked amazing under the street lights.  The driver then obliged us and floored it.
Small thing I know but it cheered me up for the long stagger home.
It just goes to show that there really is no excuse to have a filthy car, no matter the weather.
Over to you :wink:

Haha. :grin:  If you've found a way to keep your car clean at all times through winter, good luck to you (and the owner of the Onyx R). I look forward to seeing daily pic updates of your never dirty car........  :whistle:  :laugh:
