:nice:

Take a good hard look at that E36 M3, a lot of them have been ragged to shit by now.
Absolutely will. Hopefully, it will be as clean as it looks in the pictures. Of course, I rarely find that to be the case.

Check for any interior door panel bubbling too. E36s have the worst door panels evar.

I haven’t clean my tips since 15k miles :lolol:
I cleaned my GTI tips ONCE in the 6 years I owned it and they only got half ass clean like that. NFG. STI's tips are shiny asf 2 years and 0 washes later. Port injection ftw.

I've done it on my mk6 twice (first time after the first year of purchase), I promised to keep them clean on my Mk7, but I gave up around 15-20k miles. They are really a bitch to do so.

My tips are black, :aintcare: from an ownership standpoint chrome tips that get dirty are annoying af. The designers should have known this would tick off car enthusiasts

I mean, I generally don't give a shit at all anyway. I'm fully over "car enthusiast requirements" like keeping a car's exterior clean.

You are a different breed my friend, there is a generally accepted floor/bottom at which point I have to wash it, it hurts to look at a dirty “enthusiast” car. Makes me think the owner is odd

It lives outside. Every day I drive under a rail bridge that drips clay water all over it. And drive into a refinery with puddles all over the place. I can't park in front of my place to even wash it anyway. Not worth it to me, and I legit do not care anymore.

It makes me think that they actually drive the car instead of hiding it.

So I can care about my car paint? Even if I had a place to wash a car, I wouldn't. I haven't had the ability wash a car for about 8 years now and really don't care.

There's a line in my apartment rules explicitly disallowing washing cars - or even working on them - in the driveway. It'll be interesting to test that one when I swap the winter :ramz: out.

I think you'll be ok. They don't want you spilling fluids and shit all over the driveway and having an immobile car on jack stands.

I lived in an apartment complex like that. Management and I didn't see eye-to-eye on many things.

I still couldn't get over how some people on golfmk6 and golfmk7 gets so concerned about rock chips when it comes to road trip, this ain't a ferrari. I got a nice little scratch on my hood from a rock off of a dump truck at 4k miles, still there :aintcare:

No? I don’t think dirt ruins paint it’s designed for that, that’s why we have clear coat.
