Ok, far to many clean cars and not enough banter.....so here's a thread to post your dirty car pics.

Just cleaned mine so I can't give you starter but you can use this as a comparison

Taken at Southwaite services on the M6 in December 2014, whilst driving from Glasgow to Pontefract. We'd only had the car a few weeks at the time and it was spotless when we set off!

You washed it since!!! I've got about 300 miles of motorway driving and car parks to negotiate next week so mine should be pretty dirty by then to add my own pic
 
Although I haven't a pic. yet. I have to contend with seagull sh*t every day at work....I try not to let it stay on the car long enough to even contemplate taking a pic.
Hope it never gets to this stage...

Apparently they were trying to spell diesel but decided to get creative...

Here's a half and half. Was cleaning it today with Waterless wash and took a comparison picture.
Waterless wash, says the man who criticised me for not going to town on it every time I clean mine! Tut tut!

Can't blame you then. There's more important things in life than a clean car. I think...?
I've reduced my cleaning, probably by 75% of late. Luckily that's came with this rubbish weather. Don't know what I'm going today in the summer! Although, after my meeting on Friday a op is in the planning to hopefully fix said back issue. The waterless stuff would work great on white. :ghost:

How ? Can't seem to find that but would be soooo much quicker.
I just clicked 'upload an image'
Chose my iPhone album and selected a pic... It usually dicks around for ages before crashing out saying something like 'image too big for server'
I'll try it again now (prob be an off topic pic)
Upload limit is now 9.5Gb too. !!!!!

Had a group drive out to Hartside cafe yesterday and it was a little dirty but a great drive out. Oh and proper quattro weather.

I just cleaned mine on Saturday. One 20 minute motorway jaunt and it got dirty again.

I'll take a photo of my misery.

After a weekend in Shropshire. Probably not going to get back in time for a wash before dark either so may have to wait till the weekend

I suspect the back gets dirtier on the HB or SB models - more dirt is flicked up onto the back since there is less overhang of car over the back wheels.

The saloon probably doesn't have that problem.

That's one thing I noticed since I've had my A3 SB for a while now. The back gets filthy far quicker than anywhere else.

The saloon gets pretty filthy at the back but only up to the top of the boot, so the window stays clean generally as it's protected from the worst of it. Good thing too given the lack of wiper (though I suppose that's why there isn't one!)

Interesting - I thought it was just an SB/HB thing.

I hope you wash your fingers after opening that boot :p
 
I must get around to cleaning mine................................................

Drove 3 miles in rain and it's already covered it dirt.

Wax works if it's a large volume of water but salty mist from the road just sticks.
