Have I got a problem ?

Please help !

I bought my CC in Oct 02 and have cleaned it inside and out every week since without fail - even going as far as getting underneath with a sponge and hose .

People who know me are starting to mutter obsesseive compulsive and my girlfriend is becoming a cc widow

Does anyone else share my problem ? , I need to talk

?

I see no problem with this either. I wash it once a week at the moment but would like to do it twice as its black and seems to attract muck.

At first I didn't like washing it cos it still looked crap afterwards with watermarks etc from not being dried and I was disappointed and felt I had wasted my time at the Jet Spray. Since Lyndon and Alex gave me some tips on using a chamois to dry it down though, its an absolute pleasure to wash it, see the result then put the roof down and drive away from the garage.

While using the old chamois on it, I've actually had a couple of people coming up to me giving "respeck". How cool is it when that happens?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

its not worrying at all.

When I was first going out with Melanie I used to wash my car twice a day. Now that is bonkers but it was a colour that showed the muck up badly

. But its always better to see the car clean, so clean away and let your other half sit in the warm watching girly trash on the TV.

To be honest ... in the winter Im not too fussed .. I wash it so that the paint work doesnt get scratched .... and drying it in the cold weather is a joke .... it just doesnt dry unless its windy ... and if its windy my hands suffer bad :rolleyes:

Ahh come to think of it .. I got a huge problem .... when it snowed the other week..... I ran out of washer fluid .. and activited it .. and now ive got loads of scratches on my windscreen .. has anyone any tips to hide these scratches at all? its really ****ing me off !!

jewellers rouge is good for polishing scrathes out of glass.

Ask a local glass company, they will have some that I am sure they will sell you.
