Default How grubby is your 75 in this weather?

My 75 hadn't been washed for about 10 days, and was looking quite grubby, after 1000 miles of motoring. Gave it a quick rinse underneath, and in the arches, at the jet wash, and got the worst of the salt off the panels, though it still looks a bit grubby.

Here are some photos of how it was looking until I went to the jet wash. So, how grubby is your 75 looking?

Mine is about 3x worse than yours unfortunately. I can't wait for the weather to warm up again so I can wash the car inside and out.

Blimey, yours is spotless compared to mine... winter for me = 50 miles per day of narrow country lanes caked in farmers muck. My car even smells like a field full of manure!! I loose the will to clean it for weeks at a time, I just know by the time I get to work on day one it'll be covered again :-(

Mine was washed and waxed on Saturday. Sat on the drive looking pretty. I took the van to work.
