Mine stays dirty most of the time. Made a point of cleaning the lights before slightly obscuring them with the guards yesterday and also the grill - also a b**ch to clean behind the bar and lamps
Had to throw away the cloth I did it with afterwards though - absolutely filthy Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

D3 washed every day of ownership so far...will the love wear thin before the duco Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Very often my motor only gets cleaned by Guy Salmon 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

None, unless you're on the way to some concours event. 20 months so far and only cleaned once by the dealer when being serviced.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

Agree....I'm going to kick my clean car habit...will just blast the grime off when it starts to mark my clothes!.....
however...for mucky to really look good, I'd better get the expo rack, ladder, light guards etc etc
You could take a trip to Bristol I hear the anti's are given free mud washes away with every 80 litres. Or as its black just go outside and say "mud" quietly and no matter how clean it was, it will instantly be dirty again.

dirty motors=dirty minds err maybe it's the other way around
It's just so big! I started out with weekly wash, now it's bi-weekly or so...when it rains I stick it outside I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?
