... that hasn't been washed for say, a year and a half, and it's done about 40,000 miles in that time. Sometimes car shampoo doesn't work?

If fairy liquid and boiling water doesn't work either.... what do you do then?

you could try some t-cut and polish the dirt off, time consuming but I'm sure it will work :)

Could leave swirl marks on the paint though.

What exactly is it covered in? Where has it been sat?

Last thing you want to do is scrub too hard and have whatever is stuck to it scratch it!

scrap it and buy another

take it to one of the many polish car washes and pay someone to worry about it

Tried it, they gave me £20 to get it out their yard, even they've got standards.

Best bet is a good rubbing compound and a microfibre.

cut the springs, chuck a roof rack made of bnqs finest timber, raid your local oxfam store for some shite, throw it on the roof and paint the lights yellow. call it rat look and sell it to some 'misguided yoof'

LOL

Good thinking!

Anyone wanna buy a transit?

Try a hot pressure washer

TFR!

spray on, then pressure washer off...

as above, mine hadnt been washed in a year and I took it to the polish lot, paid them a fiver and they got everything off it - black mould & moss - and didn't leave any swirl marks!

the also told me to wash it more often to prevent that kind of build up again......!

An abrasive clay bar, lubricant and lots of time!! From what I have read clay bar is amazing at getting stuff off and if its used correctly shouldn't damage the paint!

Snow foam it about 5 times in a row and leave it to soak for ages. Should come right off

I'd say snow foam is your best bet

Can sort you out with a good few litres of TFR if you want mate :) that'll soak in and clean it then jet wash it all off.

Try nitromors

TFRFTW! Just so happens I have 25 litres of undiluted stuff here at work along with the Mac Daddy of all pressure washers.

PICS, or we will all assume this is a cover to find out how to clean some industrial sex toys you haven't used in a while.

Haha - can see it coming back less all the flakey bits if you pointed that at it

Don't bother scrubbing it, just use a bit of paint thinner on an old rag, rinse it off with water, then wash like normal

washed mine with petrol, was sat in someones garden for 3 years, dont smoke tho

g101?

got a mate with farm and industrial pressure washer.....they're like beasts....
