I wash mine AT LEAST twice a week, more if weather is really bad. I know I have OCD (obsessive car disorder) so can't stop :D

For me, this is a Rover 75 thing, because I just washed my previous cars every couple of weeks or so :luvya: The 75 is so British, so classic and part of the family that it just HAS to be clean :D

How about the rest of you - has your Rover given you OCD?

My wife would say I have OCD when it comes to my car, yet the last time I cleaned it was the day before the Yorkshire meet. Not the last one, but the one in November. :panic:


I must say that the interior is spotless though.

I have the INTENTION of washing mine almost every weekend but there is always something that crops up - usually a suggstion from SWMBO:o. That and the recent iffy weather we've been having.

Did mine this afternoon, inbetween the hail, snow, and rainshowers. Dried it off, then it decided to rain.

It was nice seeing the beading though!

I try to wash it weekly, not having much success recently with the weather.

NO!!!

:eek::twonk:

Scratch, scratch , swirl!

I have watched them in my local Asda using BLACK sponges that are filthy, water that is black, and washing from the bottom up - spreading all the muck and rubbing it all over the car.

I would like to :flame: them everytime I pass.

They always treat my car with respect the first time i took it they did a poor job so i asked for a refund they refused as i had nothing to do i parked my still dirty car at the entrance as customers pulled in showed them the job they would get need less to say they didn't clean many cars that day i got my car washed properly and a refund in the end now when i or the wife turn up they know they have to do a good job

I quite like my swirl marks. If you catch them in the light just right, they make a lovely pattern. :D

Besides, I really can't be bothered to spend all that time getting rid of them.

I last washed mine in September. I may get round to doing it sometime in the next few weeks. Then again, I may not.
