How clean is your car?

[RElk]

For those that have a car or clean your parent's car, how clean do you keep it? Exterior/interior. Do you perfer it to be clean or is it not a big deal?

Me, I try to keep mine as clean as possible. Especially in the summer time. I'll usually detail it once a week. Interior is quite clean, but could be cleaner. Needs a vaccum

[thiscityisdead]

I'm with ya on this one.. I like having my car clean int/ext atleast once a week if not every two at the most. I also hate the car washes they do this like half fast job and that bugs the "$&@!" outta me and plus who would want to drive with trash everywhere. Lol I'd rather walk

[Rutherford The Brave]

On the outside my car is extremely clean, its waxed and buffed with no scratches/dents/

Inside is a different story. It has numerous empty water bottles and dunkin donuts coffee cups and empty cig bbxes. It also has mine and my girlfriend's lax clothes/gear.

[Bougainvillea]

My car is a restored chevy impala, so the interior is brand new, and so is the paint job. It's extra clean, and I want to keep it that way. I clean it every week.

[Sordid Saint]

I don't have my license yet, but I do have a '89 Camaro that's gonna be mine when I get my license :P

:O please tell me it's a '64 Impala :D

[Dorsum Oppel]

The car I ride in most often is my friends families car (4 times a week to feed and ride the equus), which is full of hay, mud, little bits of horse food and treats, bits, saddles, tack, grooming supplies, blankets, ect. It's dented up and the front bumper is tied on with hay string.

My parents car is fucking sterile. I like the dirty one better. Probably because I'd rather be a barn people than a domestic suburb people.

[Taylorxbox]

I get my 06 Mustang next year, so I will keep it SUPER Clean.

I just washed it yesterday. It stays in the Garage most of the time (until I get it) so It really doesnt need to be washed yet.

I also will wash, wax, detail, and clean the inside until its spotless.. next year when I get it.
But the inside stays really clean because we dont use it that much

[Rutherford The Brave]

I feel wierd because I have an Acura 09 RDX I'm the only one without a cool sedan lol.

[CLScar]

lol Hmm, well I used to clean my mom's car, since it would've been my car, but I'm not taking it or cleaning it anymore. She started smoking, it totally ruined the floor with her ashes, it smells horrible, plus she put out her cigarettes with the car itself. O.O

That car doesn't look very well anymore...

[Raptor22]

I keep mine decently clean and wash it once a week. I keep the interior immaculate, and make the exterior immaculate for car shows. Its difficult to keep my car from getting dusty because I live in a town surrounded by farms and there is a ton of dust in the air from guys plowing their fields...

Nice Bird. 1993?

Nice Bird. 1993?

Thanks. :D

1989. :)

I am the second owner, 121,000 miles. :)

[Aves]

mines pretty clean inside and out.

[Dog Desab]

:( i miss my car if i still had it, it would be cleaned every 2 weeks... car crash

[Bougainvillea]

:O please tell me it's a '64 Impala
No, it's a '71. Sorry. :)

Greg, I would love your car. Can we trade?

[Jess]

our cars are still "new" because we bought them at the beginning of the year after our old cars got in an accident. my parents try to keep them pretty clean but they aren't sparkling clean

[AutumnDae]

I keep my car...tidy, but not super clean. Our driveway isn't paved, it's sandy gravel shit, so every time you get in or out, you drag dirt in with you, so I vaccuum it....when I feel like it. Saturday I spilled a whole fricken bottle of Vitamin Water on the seat, and realized I had nothing to clean it up with, so now my car smells faintly of orange stuff.

The outside stays, kinda clean, but I'll wash it at some whenever I feel like it.

I don't keep too much garbage in my car though, a bottle maybe or an empty cup.

[Rutherford The Brave]

No, it's a '71. Sorry. :)

Greg, I would love your car. Can we trade?

ahahaha I would normally but I need it :P

[Gumleaf]

well 'my' car, because my parents own it, i just drive it while learning and it will be the car i drive when i get my licence, doesn't get cleaned by me as much as it should. i personally hate car washing. however, i do hate having rubbish inside the car, so as far as that goes, its always clean.

I hate washing my car at my house, but them DIY Coin Op places are awesome. :)

[Zephyr]

It needs to go to the scrap heap. Our apartment manager doesn't allow you to wash or vaccum your car, so I have to wait until I can go to my parent's to do that stuff. I may end up renting dad's basement, so I'll be able to keep it clean once our lease is up in this fourth Reich xD

What the hell? You cant vacuum your car? :P

Thats retarded...

I can maybe understand the no working on cars in the parking lot, mostly because automotive fluids are quite icky when they spill, however washing and vacuuming? Really?

Id just take it to a coin operated one, for $4 you can pre-soak, wash, rinse, and wax your car and it takes probably 10 minutes... :P :D

[maestro15]

Its pretty clean, We get ours vacuumed weekly, car washed weekly, repaint every other year, new windows every couple of years, no eating or junk inside. so pretty clean

[Suicune]

Well my future car is pretty clean. I hope it stays that way. :P

[dbrkk]

My car is verrrry clean. It's the one thing in the world I'm really anal about being clean and tidy. The only thing is the damn rims!! They're always dirty, and mine in particular are extremely difficult to clean. >.<

[Church]

My truck is covered in mud and the interior is dirty to lol.

[goat]

Kinda messy. Guy next door keeps husin me to wash it 4 me:D

[PAfarmerkid]

I wash my grandpas truck, its always dirty, I live on a dirt road. Hes also a mechanic so the inside is neeever clean.

[JackOfClubs]

After I bought it (like 3 weeks ago) I cleaned the inside pretty well, as it really needed it. I have yet to clean the outside though, as its winter and there is absolutely no point.

[Mike321]

I keep it clean in the summer, I normally wash and polish it every 2 weeks, but I dont bother in the winter.
Dont think I've cleaned it in over 4 months now

[Pink_Floyd]

Well right now my car is underneath about 10 feet of snow because of the storms we've been getting. Didn't get it insured this year yet, so its just been sitting there. :(

[austin callahan]

well my truck on my profile is my dads and hee kinda likes to keep it looking nice :P

[samshan]

i keep my car pretty clean on the outside and really clean on the inside.
in the summer i usually wash it once or twice a week.
i vacuum and clean it out probably twice a week, because i hate when there's dirt on the carpet, and i like to keep it looking good.

[Charleigh]

My car is the cleanest. Its so clean, you cant see it.
Because ... I dont have a car.
But its still clean ^^

[ikhasgkfjh]

I can't stand for my CVPI to be dirty at all. Clean in and out 80% of the time.

[Etzim]

My car is hella clean, interior and all. Just need to compound rub the paint haha.

[dmeek7]

Currently since it's winter, and snowy and stuff, I don't bother cleaning it because all the salt get's all over the outside and i track in gravel and snow and salt and such into the inside so it's a waste vaccumming it also, but I do keep trash cleaned. No wrappers, no bags, no pop bottles, no nothing.

I'm pretty much the same exact way.
Inside is a little dusty though. :p

[Infidelitas]

Spotless, and i mean spotless

[BassMechanic]

Got a 99 chevy silverado 4x4. Lol 4x4 should tell u something. Insides clean though

[Zazu]

I try to keep mine fairly clean but it tends to turn into a shit heap when I've had people in it :p

Normally wash / vacuum it once a week.

[Donkey]

I try to keep mine fairly clean but it tends to turn into a shit heap when I've had people in it :p

:rolleyes:

If I had a car it would turn into a hell hole very quickly I expect.

[Infidelitas]

Im ocd so my car has to be clean all the time inside and out

[Syvelocin]

Outside, I couldn't care less. I get it cleaned when it needs it of course. The interior, however, I keep very neat.

[Craig1995]

I have to clean my dads two cars and my mums car every saturday! But there expensive cars so its kinda fair that they get cleaned and I get money for it so that's why I do it. :)

[Bimmerhead]

Hey all im pretty new and thought I would start in the car section seeing how its my passion and im going to school to fix them lol. Heres my pride and joy!


http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l187/tommyb2b/nzc6x4wmcopy-1.jpg

Im a little OCD about the car so I generally clean the inside once a day and the outside about twice a week unless a bird poops on it, then its sometimes more often lol

[Tic-Tac]

I keep my car imaculently clean. Sometimes my mom drives my car and gets ashes in the floor instead of the ash tray, and I get pretty pissed of. I keep it pretty clean both inside & out.

[amelands]

Here are the ways to clean your car like

Park your car in a shady area
Pour some soap into a bucket with the hose running until the water gets soapy and bubbly
Rinse off the car to remove any loose dirt, dust or grime
Rinse the car with a hose and clean water after you wipe down a section
Rinse the wheels and remove all of the soap
Dry the car with a cloth

[RElk]

Well, being I live in the Pacific Northwe(s)t and I don't have a garage, it can be pretty difficult to keep it clean all year round. It rains over the half the year so summer is our big break for sunshine. And during that time I'm cleaning the Vic atleast once a week. I love it when it's super clean. I've done just about everything, except claybar the entire car.

[John02Sandler]

i keep my pick up totaly clean, my parent keep telling i wash it so much i may wash the paint right off lol

[Bimmerhead]

I wash the outside once a week and wax it once a month. I would say I spend at least an hour and a half every week keeping my entire car clean lol Double that time if I wax it and clay bar it.

[suicidenote.]

Right now, the inside AND outside are full of mud, I went mud boggin last night. :/

[Njathind]

have a classic car and a daily driver.

My classic is ALWAYS spotless, inside and out. However my daily driver does sometimes get a little neglected. Howvere lately I've been keeping it clean inside and out.

[Natedoggsr71]

Mine is a bit dirty on the outside but inside I maintain it pretty well...

[Monster.Mike]

Like it to be clean at all times. But obviously it isn't :/

[FcknMarc]

Just cleaned mine today! :yeah:

[MilitemDilectam]

Mine always has to be clean..I don't like when people eat in it except me..if I had a Maserati or any other car >60000 dollars..you can't eat in the car and you better wipe yourself off of any lint or pet hair before you get in hehe

[RElk]

I just spent an hour and a half cleaning mine today. I haven't had a chane to do so in a few weeks with all the rain. It's super nice and clean again. I always get compilments from neighbors when they see me detailing it. Having a clean car is a great feeling, as far as cars go.

[Wakesetter03]

I clean my parents cars, with two new and rather upmarket cars, the only way to describe the way I have to clean is anal. We have a compressor set up with a spray gun originally meant for painting cars, that is filled with truck wash which is sprayed under the guards to keep them clean. They are cleaned once a week, the inside is Armour-All-d (wipe on protector for your dash and other plastics), vaccuumed, the leather is conditioned, and the metal parts (badge on steering wheel, door handles etc) are all wiped, my dads car also gets it's engine degreased once a month. The woodgrain, marble finish, carbon fibre finish etc are polished as per necessary each clean.They are all polished once every 6 months. Then there is upkeep that I am incharge of, ie. Keeping the navigation units with the current maps and software. I also have to find any modifications my dad feels he wants.
So after reading how anal my parents are, never complain about cleaning a car again!
Thankfully, they give me a sweet deal for all of this :)

[Shining Star]

Interior is pretty clean...im a neat freak and I wont even eat in it
Exterior: I try to keep it pretty clean but since its snowy, wet n dirty here all winter I usually dont wash it till its late spring :)

By the way I drive my parents old car...a 2001 Nissan Xterra

[WaahZombie]

It's not messy... But it's definently dirty. Haha.

[SuperSuraj]

spotless :)

[Hank Hill]

The outside of my car I don't bother to clean very often, I live on a gravel road so it gets dusty anyway,

but the inside always looks nice :D

[Infidelitas]

On the inside, its not too bad, I just need to clean the windscreen where Mum wiped it with her hand instead of using the de-misters, other than that, the inside is clean. The outside is now clean, I washed it this afternoon

[louisgray]

Clean

[Curiousasian]

I'm getting a car next year :)

[disassociation2016]

Outside is a bit dusty, inside is clean a bit of dirt on the floorboards... You have to take the fact that I live down a dirt-road in rural South Georgia into consideration...

[Baby_James94]

I try keeping it nice and clean. I'll spend hours detailing it.

[christcenteredlife]

it's always clean. inside and out.

[Sebastian Michaelis]

My parents don't mind our Chrysler Town&Country being messy, but my Mom keeps her Mercedes spotless.
My Dad's Chevy Avalanche has an avalanche of shit in it though, there is no hope left for keeping it clean.

[Zazu]

Outside is polished and pretty shiny and inside is normally clean (unless I've been out for the day with someone, normally a shit heap afterwards).

[BOSS]

Mom's car is Black so keeping that thing clean is IMPOSSIBLE IMFUCKINGPOSSIBLE!!!

[screamtobeheard]

The inside's clean, but I keep a pair of shoes in there.
The outside is currently being attacked by a hurricane, so there's no telling what condition it's in.

[Osnap]

the inside of my E46 is immaculate...the outside i wash it on weekends when i am home

[ramgoat647]

Well I don't clean my parents car nor do I have a car of my own but my parents like to keep it clean and wash it when it gets dirty. We generally don't eat in the cars so the only dirtyness there is would be dust, water, and general garbage to clean.
