it it really worth doing it

Postby jellybaby on Thu Aug 07, 2008 9:26 pm

i know my truck will never be a stunner but i've jyst spent part of the day cleaning all the inside. So am i mad after all this is a car thats going to be used off road is hoovering it out and wipein everything down so it's shiny again really worth doing when it's just going to get muddy and dusty again. my opinion yes because it's my car and i feel better drivin a car with a clean interior and it's used in between off roading. just wondering about other peoples thoughts

Yep, good to give 'em a clean and tidy, its the best way to notice things that might need doing or fixing. Moving parts, whether inside or out, caked in crud wear out faster, besides, if you don't clean it how can you tell how dirty you have got it :lol:

One of my beginners laning day tips is to was and wax the car before you go laning - that way, on your return, the car is much easier to clean as any dirt does not stick as well to a polished paint finish.

It's also a chance to go over the body work with a fine tooth comb and spot those bits of corrosion that might need some attention.

Mine has a external wash when SWMBO is passenger (saves getting her clothes dirty) :wink:

Interior is kept clean & tidy (it is more plesant to sit in a clean environment) ask Red Oktober :lol:

Try to keep mine resonably clean inside and out (passenger areas), but having 2 black labs I some times find there is more mud on the inside than out :mrgreen:

The outside of mine gets a wash under and out everytime weve been out. But struggle to justify the time for a clean inside, unless the nipper decides to do it while I work outside 8)
