Protective layer of dirt is always a must.

When did you buy a prelude?

Theres a guy in my street that washes his car almost everyday. Hes got all the gear neatly arranged on the pathment ready for use and his bucket is in the middle of the road most of the time too. If it picks to rain he sticks it in the garage. I havent once seen that car of his out in the rain. I think he's retired so he probably ain got much else to do.

[unrealrocks]

Oh how I would like to stick a bucket of mud ontop of those peoples car

Jealously gets ya nowhere............

[Russ]

[Howard]

Yeah then watch as they spend another 5 hours washing it



I wash mine every so often. It hasn't been done recently since sometime before it started snowing so I'm gonna watch it when I get home from college

[dkmech]

I had mine washed yesterday. Turns out its white. Who woulda thunk it. Last wash before that was probably some time mid winter or even further back.

Exactly the same here...........


Its the only way to keep it shining!!!!!

[Howard]

Just washed mine. Wasn't filthy dirty but makes a nice difference

[Emzay]

I might chuck a bucket of water at le micra this weekend if it's fine weather, lol.
How long does the guy spend grooming it?

[menthel]

My car was washed once in the time I owned it. Then my dad bought it and its been washed twice in 2 months!

[unrealrocks]

During the winter you should wash it more often really. With all the salt and grit on the road the salt will eat at your bodywork and make it go rusty.
