Excellent Keith! Car wash would definately be approved by LCWA.

I wish I were cool. But I'm not.
Two buckets here (actually four, since wheels need to be separate). Clay bars, potions, little tiny brushes for air vents, etc etc.

I'll get my coat. But you can't abuse me because the "my car, I'll do what I like with it" rule still applies :).

Your car. Absolutely. My thread so please delete your abominable washing method and wash your mouth out with soap and water. ( snow foam and two buckets essential. )

Very funny Dave. You are now a fully paid up member of the LCWA. Well you will be paid up when you buy me that jumbo sausage roll and cup of tea.

I live on the west coast of Ireland- just leave the car outside- gets automatically washed almost every day.

Clive,
this is about lazy washing of cars rather than doing nothing at all as a result of your geographical location. Like your style though.

As the herd of sheep goes past daily you do get one side wiped.

OK Clive if you can turn the car around so the sheep do the other side then you are in the LCWA.

Are we going to have a LCWA grille badge with permanently attached crud?

Fully approve of the lazy car cleaning regime! can't even remember what year it was when last cleaning the 993... did give it a quick vac inside last summer though :roll:

To balance my own laziness I must admit considering to give the T a coat of ceramic coating once its back from paint, still just a consideration though

Possibly a sticker. Perhaps we should have a design competition to see who could come up with the best design?

Well done on the 993.
A friend had his 1967 912 ceramic coated. Cost £600. Too shiny for my tastes and one of the tenets of the LCWA is not to spend money on car cleaning. So ceramic coating has to be discounted. Nice try though.
