To clean or not to clean

[easo]

G'day all, it has been a very long time since Sally Anne was cleaned and I'm debating weather or not to give her a super clean for Cooma. Inside and out. Try to make her look like new.

Cheers Easo

I voted clean. Id probably clean it 3 times on the way... but thats just me :)

Normally I'd say "why bother, It's only going to get dirty again" but I was so taken with mine when I gave it a bath two months ago, I might actually clean it again in the next six months. :p

Wash - Yes

Polish etc - your choice.

At least if you are washing the vehicle, then you are looking at it, and may pick up early signs of problems.

Washing isn't about having a clean car, it prevents rust/corrosion, gives you a look at whats going and its how you take care of an expensive assett:(

They do look good when they are washed and polished. You have one of the best looking cars ever built, enjoy the grooming.

I try to get polish onto to mine twice a year and a wash after every long trip.

I give the inside a good wipe down and shake the mats out etc but alas morse Kimberley dust is waiting in the vents to come out when I do.

I won't have time to clean it. I had hoped to but it's now a race to be ready in time.

Started cleaning, underneath first. Chipping away with the pressure washer. There is mud stained to the paint so there is a fair bit of work ahead. That and I'm still trying to get the trailer temp regoed to take the S1.

Any tips for interior cleaning??

Aren't they meant to be dirty:) Hang on - you left half of it in my drive way :D:wasntme:

If you clean it Dan it will rust quicker, that mud and dirt is providing a protective barrier and besided it shows that vehicle is used for its intended purpose, next time you go through a river or it rains it will get a tub anyway!

Never washed mine in the 15 years we've had her. The most she gets is hosed out, & :D underneath. (Lot easier to work on when you don't have bits of dirt & **** dropping on you!

[easo]

After all that cleaning she only got dirty again! :(:cool:
