When you wash your car is your choice. But please don't forget to be safe so that you can have another year of paying taxes. :)

Weekly checks advice and guidance.
Check out Clives' weekly check chart and have a good start to the new year. :)

Usually give mine a quick hand wash once a week .... unless it's raining.
Yesterday I got lazy and used the local jet wash.

During the summer at least weekly, usually more often. (Should have got a silver car-they never get dirty!)
Less in the winter due to having to shut off the outside faucets to prevent freezing. I have just installed a new hose bib in the carport with a quick shut off (Yes, A Ball-flange for you rude types!) so frequency should increase.

Edit: HEY! That darn spell check changed the proper name of the valve! It should read Ball-Male Chicken.
Spell check must play havoc with the plumbing forums as all they have to talk about is Ball-cocks and nipples! :ohmy:

I simply hate driving a dirty car and so have been known to wash them, go somewhere and either wash leather or polish again! I too have cleaned my car in the dark and have so many washing/polishing implements that I usually carry some with me just in case! I even have a collapseable bucket (True!). Reckon it's a bit of OCD in me :)!!

I spent 3 years valeting new and used cars for the local VW/Audi dealer so try to avoid it if I can.

I think I have actually spent more time washing and polishing our F this year than I have driving it! I definatly have washed it since I last drove it.

The T16 gets an anual wash to stop it going green.

The ZS tends to get a mega valet before I go to my mother in laws (she is one of those people who dusts the tops of doors and behind radiators) and then gets washed 2 or 3 times a year.


Home to black Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 V6 Q4 ,green MGF VVC and red MG Maestro T16.

MG - the friendly marque.
