I thought it was illegal to wash a van?

I haven't washed the 206 since Feb 2009, I let the rain wash it for me  Lights & glass are kept clean, inside is clean, paintwork not worth it as its just as dirty again after a day. |

Heavy rain due later here and i'm glad, it might finally clean the roads up a bit from the salt spreading and grimey weather we've had the last week or so

Tax is out on the 7 series and she's off the road for 2 months.. Not taking her out in the ice and salt.. Need to get a coat of wax on it, bit icey for that at the min ;D My E30 is hibernating in the garage, giving her a bit of TLC at the min  |

Lol. I remeber years back my friend and I cleanned his Jaguar in the dark with a dim glow of light from his shop. Not only was it dark but it was snowing.I thought he was mad because of the temp, i was worried about his doors sealing shut, and incase the water frooze suddenly and scratched scratched the paint.  Still looks lovely now. |

Washed the truck this morning, was filthy again by the time I got to my 1st job. It's proper minging now. I thought the rain might wash off some of the salt, but it hasn't. Been stopping every half hour to clean the mirrors
sent from my HTC using proboards android app

Been stopping every half hour to clean the mirrors sent from my HTC using proboards android app The roads are dirty at the moment, with all the extra salt they're putting down. Used the Audi yesterday, as it was easier than getting the Alfa out. Only localish journeys, with a quick blast down a dual carriageway to Cardiff. By the end of the day, the ar*e end was stinking dirty |
