I washed Dreadnaught today. And vacuumed the inside. And wiped all the hard internal surfaces. I have had to come inside and have a little lie down, I was starting to feel a bit faint!

It seems real enough. And to be fair it was getting quite a long way toward being rancid inside so it could be considered a health and safety intervention. Or unique ecosystem vandalism. Depends on your point of view!

I ought to show mine a vacuum cleaner and a wet cloth soon I suppose.

I've owned it for a decade and might have cleaned it out once.

It's an off road car primarily but it could be a daily soon, at which point I might need to keep it cleaner inside for my sanity!

Lambert, you shamed me into it!

Yesterday I hoovered (with a Dyson) Daddy's Tractor!

I also wiped down all the hard surfaces with a damp cloth!

Having a 4 year old child, who is the only one that goes in the back makes it a disgusting place to be back there! I've several packets of crisps in the Dyson now. They're all a bit stale and dusty mind!

I have a new Magic Tree for it too!

Steady now. We scruffy beggars need to stand together and offer mutual support against the insidious rise of detailing off road vehicles! :laugh:

I quite enjoy the cleaning process, I've even clay bar,ed the Jimny, so smooth :laugh:

For those that don't clean it's not truly clean unit it's clayed!

In my defense it's a Road princess and our daily drive, my Series 2 (the muddy one) just gets jet washed inside and out....the advantage of no electronic gizmo s or carpets..


Oh just to add not a member of the above forum at the moment !
