Spotted this in our local Waitrose yesterday. :o

How can anyone do that to such a nice car? I would love to have a bash at cleaning it, just imagine the before and after photos! :D

You certainly would not expect that in a Waitrose carpark disgusting, should have there Waitrose card withdrawn.

Probably greenies who don't agree with using car cleaning products :o ( and trying to turn a blue car green ).
That car is a mobile ecosystem.
That was pretty much the colour of my first Civic ( Brighton Blue ).

My Jazz is in a similar condition at the moment. 90 miles a day every day soon clarts it up.

A flying petri dish!
I think that would take some cleaning. Certainly a pressure washer would be required.

According to the gov.uk checker, they've had it for 3 1/2yrs! It has only done 44k too.
Obviously don't know their circumstances, but you would have thought they'd take better care of their motor. Seems very wasteful to me as it would have cost them a tidy penny to buy back then.
I would really enjoy getting that car back to presentable, extremely satisfying.

Yes. If you keep your car half decent you never get that "transformation" feeling.

I can't remember the last time my car was dirty.
Unless I like the weather it stays in the garage.

Many years ago, someone asked me if I'd got a new car. I replied, "No, I washed it."

Too true. Other than the wheels and brake dust, the body work doesn't look much different post wash to most folk. Thing is though, when you are into cleaning cars, you can really see the difference.

Looks like it’s been dredged from a riverbed. Shocking :o
-
Wouldn't ever let mine get to that kind of state.
My Jazz I gave a really good clean last week (only had it a fortnight or so) and found a lot of algae growth under the door rub strips and also on the sills.
The dealer was meant to give it a good valet before delivering it to me. Makes me wonder how long it had been stood before I bought it..

I would expect no less of the Waitrose Customers I have met.
Too full of their own importance to clean their car.. 8) :) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Try looking under the rear number plate sometime. That can be a bit of a shock.

To me the mechanical health of the car is more important than shiny paint. I am well known on this forum for being allergic to cleaning cars, but the best thing I ever did was get the 'diamond coating' on the paintwork from the dealer - the civic is 10 years old now, and wifes Jazz 8 years, paintwork still looks good even though never been waxed ( I use autoglym super resin polish on plastic headlight covers on out cars about once a month, and they are showing no sign of cloudiness, I also use super resin to clean our UPVC window frames, doors and fascia boards, guttering and downpipes once a year ) I have used Autoglym bumper and trim gel on parts of the cars and it works well.

I prefer both to be in good order as good preventative maintenance tends to be better than expensive repairs.
I have detailing equipment but found I didn't really need to go too deep into using it as the Jazz was given Auto Glym Lifeshine shield when new 6 years ago and came up clean with minimal effort. Just puzzled as to how long a car would need to stand to get as much algae growth on it :)

LOL - you'd have thought they could at least take the poor thing to one of the many hand car wash places for <£10.
If they lived in my road, I'd have been round and washed the poor thing out of sympathy by now. :D

Sorry in delay for reply we were shopping in Aldi just to get a feel how the other half live just read your observation, we had a good laugh, just kidding Waitrose to far away anyway.

If parked under suitable trees, I would say less less than a year in British weather conditions. Especially if the paint is already dull to collect sap and pollen.

Looks to me more like cow muck.
