What *is* this washing-the-car concept that people keep
talking about?

I think it's something done by people who don't understand the
protective nature of a layer of mud on their paintwork.

Not to mention the trauma of failing to find your car in a
supermarket car park because it looks quite different when
you've washed off the protective layer.


In a hospital car park I had something of a shock when I put the key in the
car door at it wouldn't open. It was only then I discovered that someone out
there had a ford Grenada dirtier than mine!
