Too true! I have a great way of keeping mine clean though, the other half is a valeter so once a week i offer to let him use mine to go to work in and if I ask nicely it comes home all sparkly again!

i clean/polish mine nearly every night even if i dont take her out or not, keep on top of it

drive slow and take it easy the car will stay clean. i can take the corsa out take it easy, an at the most need to rinse off the water flicks up the side.

haha, well i just gave it a wash with a sponge n water and it looks good hehe..

just gonna do that from now on, i'm not too keen on taking it to that top wash place though.. they put foam all over your car then wash it off with like really hot water - don't think that's too good for the car..

plus, i kicked the shit outta one of the guy who works there when i was school last year rofl! lil' punk
