    Who has washed it then, girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, car wash?
    I have never failed, just found ways that won't work!

    My van is clean on the outside and in the back but the cabin is a garbage pit from hell, probably 20 empty cans of monster ripper, banana skins, loose tobaco, invoices and assorted rubbish.

    Gets washed at least once a week without fail, usually twice a week. Interior cleaned once a week as well. You could eat your dinner off the floor in mine. I remember being told that one company, think it may have been Connaught, were made to keep their vans to a suitable standard as if they were transporting their customers around.

    Don't waste money on chemicals,I just use Tesco wash and wax. Wash it regularly and the dirt falls off on the next wash.

    Mine gets washed every week, at home, and usually from the water butts, (it rains a lot in Brittany too). Normally on a Saturday morning, and in footy season its early on a Saturday morning so that I can spend all afternoon in front of the telly watching 3 live footy matches. So I shall bid you adieu, and go and wash my van.
    Life's disappointments are so much harder to take if you don't know any swear words.
