    You should clean it more often, helps to maintain the cars condition, appearance and value. If nothing else it will help the car sell if it looks well cared for...

    Its got so many little bumps and scrapes though, when its clean i notice them more lol

    Oh and the wheels, they're in a bad way. I did the wheels on the mrs ££££roen, after mine, and they are in a much better condition. They are similar age yet mine are much worse, and i'm not just talking about curbing either, lots of bubbling around the wheel nuts on mine. Tut, tut volvo.......very disappointing.
