Nasty piece of work! You certainly are a confused individual.

But lets not get into a drama about it all, everyones different and people enjoy different things

But of course!

I just refuse to clean my car in this weather.

In the summer, granted (if I've nothing better to do), I'll quite happily spend a few hours cleaning and tinkering.....but not in this current climate.

Yes, we seem to be having a sense of humour failure here!

Shhh, I have something to say...

"don't feed the trolls"

Please, continue as you were.

Can I still feed the birds?

No, no, no. I think you'll find it's quite the opposite my fellow fccuk chum. Just because I didn't put a at the end, you took it literally.

This proves how easily context can be confused over the internet, especially on forums.

Anyhow, we're going off topic here.

I'm cleaning my car myself when it gets warm, until such time, I will continue taking it to my eastern european 'friends'.

What HAVE you started Nigel?!?

Even in the summer I take it to the car wash I just feel it is just a car, thus needs no 'loving', just a clean now and again!

Don't get me wrong, I don't see it as an ejoyable task, its just not such a big deal do get a bucket out and spent a few minutes cleaning a car. It's a tiny car anyway. I definitely don't enjoy cleaning the wife's Mondeo, it takes twice as long!

I seem to wash mine more than i drive it.I havnt seen it for two months,as its all covered up in a garage.
When i do take it out i wash it when i get back.

More. Out. Get. Re-arrange.

I washed my (non Fiat) Coupe on Sunday, took photos ready to start advertising it. It rewarded me by leaving a pool of gearbox oil on the drive as it seems the cooler pipes have had it. The damn thing is psychic!

Tuppence a bag. But don't let them crap on your car.

If they do, I know where you can get it cleaned cheap

Bugger washing it, Sunday was the first dry day in weeks

I didn't clean mine. I hear we may have more snow on the way so I'm waiting until that's passed, and all the grit on the roads has been washed away by rain.

I'll then take my Couple to a car wash and get a full under-car wash done before finishing it off myself at home.

Yeah, its cheaper than my place

But I do occasionally get to sit with a smug smile on my face drinking inferior coffee

My car unfortunately sits under a holly tree and the poor little birds that have had nothing to eat for the last few weeks have been feasting on the berries.

That's not so bad, I like nature and appreciate our little feathered friends need to eat but my car is totally covered in red berry bird s***

That tree is comming down as soon as the weather warms up, nature can find another tree to feast and crap out of.

Are you a swinger then?

Washed my Coupe, then my Stilo and then my mother's Polo on the Sunday. Had enough after that so the Mrs had to go without on her Beetle

I try to clean both my cars twice a week, weather depending naturally. The Coupe usually gets a buff with the DA polisher every other week.

I gave mine (not a coupe) a clean this morning and put it to sleep for three months!

Spent about 40 mins and it came up quite well, needed to do some more to the wheels but I was pressed for time, hopefully it won't pit them before I get chance to give them a really good clean.

Nah, just sans-girlfriend

I have to chuckle at the division in opinion these threads inevitably generate - as much as I'm very keen on keeping my Coupé as minty fresh & pristine as possible I realise others aren't so fussed and that's fine, each to their own as has been said.

I look on it as (mainly) protecting my investment though - a pristine and impeccably clean car will damn-near sell itself and possibly for a bit more money than just an "average" one and for me at least a few hundred quid makes a difference. I'd also prefer to have someone come to look at the car and be blown-away than have them picking faults while I try to defend with the old "it is a 10 year old car you know..." type lines.

At the other end of the spectrum I know a girl who's had a string of "nice" cars (a Puma, MGF & a couple of MR2's to name a few) and always abuses them, NEVER cleans them and after a year ish she puts them up for sale (still without being cleaned). Suffice to say she either doesn't get a buyer or has to let them go for a pittance. Three of them though she wrote-off before they actually sold, so that helped with the 'problem' in a way I guess. She's far from loaded but she's literally wasted thousands on the resale value of her cars

10 out of 10 for effort! Just remember to stop with the DA at the point just before the pad takes on a slight Scots-Green tint...

Yea washed and polished mine then took it for a well needed drive and treated it her to a new Sony Bluetooth head unit. Put it back in the garage, washed the punto and then it rained. At least I got the coupe back in the garage first.
