I clean my CARAVAN more than I do my car

Thats just sad

I'd like to clean my 75 on a weekly basis but unfortunately I don't have a drive way and the odds of parking right outside my own house are very slim. I usually have to wait for rare occasion that my car is parked outside on a weekend and I have no plans, very rare!

My Tourer is an everyday workhorse - two big dogs in the back every day and up to 100,000 leaflets over the course of the month.
This means it gets pretty grubby inside and out - I clean it when I can which probably averages once a month.

A beatiful car should look good .My Le mans green zt t gets regular attention.

None of my cars go out on the road unless they are clean. Unless of course it is raining.

Probably 1-2 times a week, and hoovered whenever i see dirt on the mats.

which as i have 2 kids means a fair few times a week....sad yes i know, but its like watching tv in the house with your coat and shoes on.....its not right.

I'm glad its not just me that also feels dirty when the car is dirty.

Its like dirty teeth and shoes to me. First impressions and all that.

Although at the moment I've not got time to give mine a good going over, might just slap a layer of collinite over it and hope for some better weather (or a nice double heated garage!)

We had Land Rovers for 20 years, with those going over a few bumps in the yard makes the muck fall off. See, bio-security in action. I'm afraid the philosopy persists.
