| Only washed the car 2 days ago an its already filthy! bring on the warm weather an rain to wash it all away. doesnt help having to park on a main road though. depressing driving round in a filthy car, especially when ive got car cleaning ocd, but is there much point in cleaning it? post ur pics up, see who's the worst. | |

| I washed mine in tesco Holyhead last night before that it was filthy and my windscreen has a bit of filth on it from driving into work this morning. If all goes well my plan is give the car a polish tomorrow while the sun is out to protect the paint from the evil salt. | |

Polishing won't protect the paint. You'll need a sealant or wax for that. | |
