Until I washed my car today.

I swear I have like a quarter centimeter of dirt on the car... and the bottom has never been washed before. So as all lazy people I just took it through an automatic car wash.

Holy ****. How did you manage to get your car so dirty? When's the last time you washed it?

[shc-boomer]

Petro Canada car washes are expensive, I hope you went for the basic wash.

He got it with $1 gas purchase so I think it was cheaper, but HOLY CRAP that's way worse than my metallic blue Accord which is kinda grey right now.

I made it through the entire fall AND winter (So yeah the last time I washed it was probably late August lol)

Nah I went for the one above that... my car really needs a thorough clean at the bottom and the parts I can't normally hit with a pressure washer, it's never been washed before since I got it, which was July 2007

It's expensive but they're all around the same price... 10 bucks, whatever. A basic wash is 8 bucks with fuel purchase.

Haha yeah I don't pay for car washes unless I really need to

Dude that's not good for your car, think of the salt!

[chconline]

We don't use salt here in Calgary, just mud, so cars here are usually in pretty good condition.

Diamond Kote FTW

Some random photos...

Very clean in comparison, maybe wash the car once every 2 weeks?

[Big Bang]

Black cars are hard to keep clean - but they're so Beautiful. Nice photos chc - I like the Nighthawk Black.

Nah, too expensive. Plus my car is too scratched up already. It's better when it's dirty since they don't appear.

[shc-boomer]

Haha, how about some touch up paint? It could be worst though, those low body kits could make it that much easier to scratch.

[prestonyuen]

Nice car. When did you get it? I mean..... oh it's that car.

Good that you got the dirt off, better than making it rust.

Touch up paint doesn't fix scratches. It just covers it up, but it's ugly.

Nice photos!

There are more problems then Black cars around here - I don't have any.

[chconline]

It keeps it nice and warm in the winter here

But it's hot as heck in the summer.

[shc-boomer]

Well, it could be worst. Hot leather & shorts do not match well. Man, not only is it uber hot but combine that with sweat and sliding on the leather. Just ewwww...

[TL6MT]

Leather isn't really a big problem - I've owned cars with it for ages and no complaints.

Leather is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, but it's not that bad. Our Odyssey EX-L is equipped with leather and I don't have much complaints over it. They're also easier to clean.
