Mines outside 24/7 as I've no garage. All I do is use plenty of Coli 845 and wash it as often as the weather allows really. It gets dirty very quickly due to my commute to work and back, mainly because there are a lot of rural vehicles using the same road and they leave bloody mud everywhere. It's very annoying. Still, it comes up nice after every wash.

I'm living back at my parents at the minute,plenty of garage space. But all in use :sad1:
So mine stays outsite 24/7.

As said, I just wash it once a week and apply a layer of collinite about every 2 months!
Got the underneath of mine properly steam cleaned and 4 wheel alignment done.
Sitting very pretty at the moment! :drool:

Yeah I was shocked at how much dirt had got underneath mine from Being cleaned in November for MOT

Mine lives outside too, in a secure(ish) carpark, or just outside my flat so I can gaze down at her  :love:

I hope you guys wash underneath as much as on top as theres not alot of protection under there.

I got these in, fit right onto the karcher and I can get under the arches and under the body.

mine lives in the garage, and I like the feeling of locking it up at night, not that it would make much difference if somebody really wanted it :laugh:

but it is nice not having to scrape when its cold :happy2:
