Probably been done, but whats the worst bit of a C to clean?

[Yandards 0]

Just given my car a pre-stealth trip wash and realised just how bloody annoying the wing mirrors are when it comes to cleaning, especially when you can't feel your fingers!!

 

So whats you least favourite spot of your Corrado to clean?

Two feet up the exhaust pipe it starts getting pretty hard... ;)

Not many people 'love' their cars that much!! :shock:

I used to hate doing round the back of the car - water used to collect around the boot, dribble down etc - then you'd open the boot, more water would pour out onto the bits you'd already dried.

 

The Corrado was just annoying to wash, definately.

Getting down to clean the front spoiler - which in my case is colour coded, cracked and covered in stone chips :roll:

 

Oh, and remembering to raise the spoiler to clean underneath it...

 

I used to keep my mk1 golf much cleaner than I keep the C but then I was 20 when I had that and had more energy when it came to buffing 8)

Small pools of water that gather under the front bumper and rear bumper.

The lines of water that periodically run down the door handles and wing mirrors whilst drying

plus the water that gathers in the roof gutters and runs down your clean windows as soon as you drive off :roll:

yeah the water that runs down by the boot, full of dust and leaves the back dirtyer than it was to start. :x

How about all of it? I hate cleaning cars, even when it's one I love as much as the VR! I get bored after about 10 mins and can never be bothered to polish it too.

I always had time to wash my Corrado.. don't seem to have the enthusiasm for the Golf though!

Wheels are my pet hate because they're fiddly and always the dirtiest bit. I think that's why I could never have any more than 6 spokes :lol:

 

I don't know how you guys running BBS and/ split rims stay sane.

Without doubt the worst area to get shiney after a good wash and wax is the bloody sunroof lining, everytime you wipe over it and put pressure on it you can a fresh smear on the roof...AHHHHH

 

..not that i've gotta worry about it anymore...

agree on that

 

although a very short drive and couple of emergency stops sorts that out,, for me is lying down to clean the chin spoiler and in the arches is a pain too and dangerous :oops:

MattWilde, absolutely agree about the G60 BBS wheels. Absolute nightmare!

Wheels and front although I've recently discovered the flash car wash system, how damn good is that??

 

So, who's a chemist? I want to know what the deionising packs contain so I can refill them cheaply or copy it ;-) I don't use the flash shampoo though, I stick my own in.

I am amazed how the soft water oop narf makes washing a car so much easier than darn sarf! It was a joy today! Worst bit is the bit at the back of the turrets in the engine bay.

I think its just a compact version of the home water softening kits you can get, you could always get one of those fitted instead :wink:

[bristolbaron 10]

worst is as mentioned, the bits or water that collect when youre waxing. grrr.
