I keep cleaning gear in the boot and clean it. Within reason
When I first bought the car I drove up to Kent to visit a mate. Naturally I pulled in to the local hand wash before I got to his house and washed the Zed, before rolling up. Hopefully every one does that and not just me.

Letting it wear its war paint is awesome and should be the way to show what a road trip is all about...... BUT it would break me in the summer time with roof down action and some cruising you feel everyone is looking at you but really they are thinking "Oh wow look how clean that Renault Wind is, shame about the white filthy Beemer sitting behind it
Have decided on road trip to at least jet wash and a quick shine and buff down weather permitting

And that was just from Kathleen!Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 9:47 pmI tried that at the last forum run Iain, I got that much stick at the meal the evening before I was up at 6:30 heading for the local garage to wash it before breakfast and the start of the days run
If you're 'out out' you're supposed to look your best...hence you rushing to Next after the first day to buy a shirt for the evening. At least you've got one for the next meet.
