Anybody else's Z covered in salt, sand, etc.?
 
Mine isn't that bad because I didn't drive during the snow and I use a car cover but in the aftermath, the lower part of my car and the wheels are completely white. It kills me but there's nothing I can do about it for now, all the touchless car washes around me are down because of the cold weather.

I can't be the only Z owner here who has a very dirty car right now, I hope.

I had to drive from MD FT Washington Md to Annandale VA the day that snowed. My Z is mad at me right now. It's covered in salt and sand everywhere.

behjjeh Feb 9, 2007 06:57 AM

salt and sand + bird poop.......... my Z is pretty sad...

Mine is all covered in salt. My friend and I were talking about it this morning. And he said, "this is your baby. When my baby(kid) gets dirty or craps in his diaper, i clean him up... knowing that he's gonna go and get dirty and crap in his diaper again. Just because he's gonna get dirty again, doesn't mean you should wash him."

I think im gonna go run the Z through a touchless carwash right now :)

Mine has not seen the outside of my garage until today.

Spotless..

but I'm uber anal about my Z...

nashjam Feb 9, 2007 12:29 PM

I'd take dirty over being in the body shop, but mine is getting some new paint...again

Integrity Feb 9, 2007 01:14 PM

Mine's been under a car cover for the last 2 weeks.

superchargedg Feb 9, 2007 02:53 PM

Where in VA are you? I usually wash it myself once a week regardless of how cold it is outside... Once the lips on my wheels get spots, it's washing time!

It's hopeless here. So much sand and dirt on the wet roads your car is a mess within 5 miles. I wash it off just so I can see anything through glass the wipers don't reach. Thank God they don't use salt on the roads here.

redmike_02 Feb 9, 2007 07:33 PM

Mines covered and its to cold to wash it. I tried and it froze before I could get it inside.

:worthless:

Hand-washed in the garage, no heat, but warmer than outside (40degress).
The damn salt still didn't come all off.

rockinbboy Feb 10, 2007 09:04 AM

I sprayed my car down last week. It was dirty from my first snow drive. No salt since since I haven't really driven it more than an hour or two in a 5 mile span in the local area.

ajcool2 Feb 11, 2007 01:34 PM

I'm tired of cleaning my Z every other day.

Muzlimchu Feb 11, 2007 02:07 PM

I went out last night and noticed my roomate had drawn two peni (is that the plural) on the hood curved around the headlights in the dirt. Thats the sign I need to wash it...
