It snowed last week, and the ride got a little dirty. Not filthy mind you, but it was driving me nuts. I got to work 2 hours early this morning so i could wash it. It wasn't even a full seven days since the last time it was bathed. Is it reeeaaallly wrong that I get up early to caress my car? I'm starting to feel as if I need to hide my obsession from others so that they don't think I'm crazy.
Is it a sin?

How long have you had the car if you've already washed it that much? I thought they just got imported a little while ago. I've seen a couple at the local dealership but they got their first one last week I think
I picked it up on Feb 1. I hadn't even looked at VW closely for a few years. When my European Car magazine came with a small write up on the GTI, I did a little investigation. I wasn't even in the market for a new car, but the price was right, and the car was beyond my expectations so I went for it.

iv washed my gti about 5 times and ive had it over 3 months its black so it hard to keep it clean
i have to park my car outside in florida... it gets so gross. the sprinkler water always hits one side of it so there are dirty dots all over the car. if you guys didnt read one of my other posts in another topic someone has hit my car already (happened 3 days after my parents let me get it back, got it taken away first night i got it for sneaking out hah[one month ])so yeah whenever i see the messed up fender and bumber i decide not to clean it. the car is getting fixed in the next 2 weeks (was suppose to bring it in tomorow but they didnt call me back yet) so i am hoping they will clean it up all nice for me and then after that ill keep it clean again ... if this is a sin father please forgive me and bless my soul.
PS: got the car feb 25thish, got it taken away until march25ish, got hit 3 days later... now its june 12th and still not fixed
South florida is all booked up with cars to fix because of all the hurricanes last year how lame is that. 4 out of every 5 cars that need to be fixed are from the hurricane the lady at the auto body repair shop said.

I don't think its a sin to wash your car when it is dirty. No matter how dirty it is, My fast loves to get a bath atleast twice a week.

Man, I keep mine nice, and I wash it once a week. When a bird craps on it or something like that, I drive to the nearest gas station to use their window scrubber thing (the soft side), then the little paper towels that are there too. If I do that, and the area I cleaned looks even slightly whiter than the rest of the car, it's time for a wash.

Fastgirl,
Living in VA and the weather we have had I don't know why you would even bother washing the car at all right now. While I am at work I use the pressure washer to rise the salt and stuff off the car. But that is it until its nice out...

I haven't washed it at all yet. I bought it in Jan and still waiting for the weather to get nice so I can get it washed and get some pictures. I think it's supposed to warm up starting this weekend, hopefully this is the last snow we get.kondziela79 said:
I posted my Fast's dirty side on another thread. It was filthy grimy gross. I just took it for its 5k tune up today and the dealer tried to give it back to me without washing it! I was shocked. I've never had a dealership tell me they will wash my car, and that it is standard with all services, but try to pass my car back to me that obviously dirty? Geeze. The guy who was working with me gave me this look like 'oh man, she noticed. Dang'.
