Post by black magic »

Sorry guys couldn,t resist posting this on here, it,s our most popular thread on this section.I and a few others seem to be cleaning anoraks and i especially in the summer months clean mine nearly every day but now i tend to wash it with canuba wax shampoo just once a week.

Haven't washed it in weeks. Shame really, but I only get a chance to in the weekend and it's been freezing here for a while now. Generally I'd say every other week and perhaps every week in summer.

optima21 - get that salt washed off your mk2!

I feel like a pig (not literally), cos I only wash mine about every couple of weeks in the summer, once a month in the winter :oops:

I'll be doin it more often now my pride meter has gone up.

Post by CalvinGTI »

haha sounds like some of you are college students, the amount of free time u must have to clean your motor's as often as that.

i just simply wouldnt have time to wash mine 2-3 times a week, mine is lucky to even get washed !!! hahaha

Poor i know, but hey, its a car.

Once a week usually, sometimes more if I can be bothered. Whoever said that white is easy to keep clean clearly didn't own a cat who thinks that the bonnet is a good place to keep watch on his territory... nice trails of brown pawprints all over the nice clean paintwork :)
