carwash

not washed the 75 for nearly a year ! i dont know if its still classed as an act that is not a valid reason or excuse. in my case i have no off road parking so my car would be washed with me having "left the house without good reason"i couldnt even tell you if the hand carwash boys are allowed to work and i dont want the poor old girl being whipped by the cats of nine tails at the auto carwash. whats the position here is it ok to wash the car outside of your property on the main road or is it classed as maintenance......

I wash both of mine out in the street. Just keep your distance from anyone passing by.

is keeping the number plates clean and legible and also keeping windows clean and clear a legal requirement?

Sounds like she needs the full works.

Pre wash, snow foam, shampoo, clay and then see what she's like.

Not forgetting the decontamination of the wheels and giving the windows a good clean with BarKeepers Friend.

And getting under the wheel arches for a good washing out.

All that work will get your heart rate up so that's exercise so IMHO it's OK

.

Good Luck with her.
