Ok, I know that I go way over board in trying to keep my MINI spotless on the outside and keeping the inside clean. And I know you people who drive in rain and snow alot, that it's very hard to keep your MINI's looking good everyday.

This post is directed at some of these people here in the state of Oklahoma who it seems never wash the red mud from their cars or trucks. ( Not MINI drivers) Have you seen any of these vehicles I'm talking about? I'm not talking about a lite coat of dirt, I'm talking mud that is caked on in multi layers. You can't see the tail lights very well and in many cases, the licence plate is covered in dirt and mud too. Heck, my brother told me that he just couldn't find the time to wash is truck. In fact, he could not remember the last time it was washed. These kind of people are sick IMOP

Yeah, we get snow and rain here from time to time, but hey, drop a few bucks in the auto car wash and just drive through for crying out loud. These dirty cars and trucks is really bugging the heck out of me. Thesse are probably some of the same people who never floss their teeth either.

Oh well thanks for letting me rant a little. The move from Ca to Okla has been difficult for me to say the least.

I gave my MINI the "works" at a touchless car wash today! Did the inside with a bottle of water and some napkins from McD's while I waited on a speeding ticket!!

A clean MINI goes faster!!

The salt from all of the snow here in NY has left many cars disgustingly filthy. I couldn't wait to get my MINI washed. On my drive home from Boston this past weekend I must have spied at least 5 cars that were completely white/grey with salt. It was gross, needless to say not the best thing for your paint job either.

We have a pair of very dirty cars right now. I can't wait until it's warm enough to give them some sort of washing. The interior of my car is looking bad as well. I'm almost ready to hit the self-serve place near my house.
