I was shocked yesterday... Walked outside to look at the state of my car (I knew it was dirty but was dark and foggy the night before so couldn't see it very well).
And I was confronted by this 
I only cleaned it 2 days ago!!! and all i've done since was drive up the motorway to pick a mate up from the airport and around some country lanes.
This is what the paintwork should look like when clean
So has anyone else got some shockingly dirty car pics they would like to share?

bloody hell, thats dirty.
i spent 6 hours on saturday cleaning mine, as it was horrific after 1 week!!!
Out of interest how often do people go to town with cleaning??? Like taking wheels off to clean the backs of them, inner arches????

In the summer I clean the calibra every couple of days  you sort of get addicted to it, haha. In the winter I give it a good wax before the bad weather starts then try and jet wash underneath and in the wheel arches once a week (I do a lot of miles).

Bogging mate!
Mine isn't that bad but I am waiting 'til I wash her since not long back got her back from the booth...maybe another week or so. She's been treated to a full valeting on the interior and a steamcleaned engine bay lately so not neglected by any means
