Time for a “Who has the dirtiest CL” photo contest

Certainly not the DIRTIEST she’s ever been, but from the window line down it’s pretty bad.

Show us your BEST, er.... I mean WORST !!!

Well, only the front end and the mirrors are dirty...looks like I brought back a lot of bug kill from this 1 week road trip.

Here's the full front end (bumper/hood):


Here's one that's zoomed in a little more:


Here's more of a closeup to see the splatter on the bumper and headlight housing:


Well, anything that sticks out will get splatter, including the side mirrors:


Looking at these before starting to wash it off made me wanna

But not to worry, at least I have like 12 layers of Zaino underneath all that!

Not a CL, but this was my car after driving to and from NYC to Michigan one weekend. The salt literally flaked off in big chunks when I washed it.

Mr. Hyde is the cleanest out of the dirtiest cars, i.e. has salt thats cleanly laid on, neat, but its still really dirty

highwire is just a mess of salt and snow-sludge, he takes my vote

Guf0923: Yeah, those are hubcaps for highwire. Judgeing from his location, it's a pretty safe bet that he is running snow tires on additional rims while the good tires and wheels are in the garage waiting for spring to come.

Those are my $10 hubcaps to cover up my black stamped steel winter rims. No way I'm going to subject my 18" rims to the ravages of road salt.

I agree they suck, but waddya gonna get for $10...

I sometimes don't wash the car for a month and it doesn't get dirty! The inside usually gets dirty quicker than the outside

Not my CL-S, but still damn dirty. You know your car is dirty when you cant see through the moonroof because it's covered in salt.



I havent driven the CL-S for a couple days, so it's buried under like 5" of snow. :o
