What's the DIRTIEST your Lexus has ever been?
I was just typing up a post about how badly my car got dirty while parked in the city one day, and was wondering if CL can come up with any pics of their own rides; pictures of the dirtiest their cars have ever been. I think it could be a fun thread especially b/c nearly everyone on here keeps their cars gleaming (or I would like to think so
) Anyway, here's mine:
Simply parked in the city overnight, came out around 10am in the morning and saw this crud on my car.
Of course my heart stopped, thinking it was some sort of acid or paint. Whatever it was it didn't belong on the damn car yet it was EVERYWHERE! I looked around and nothing else was dirty. Turns out overnight and early morning a crew was cleaning the top of the building i parked in front of and voila. The security guard of the building told me about it as he watched it happen. He felt bad too.
Lucky for me it was just dirt and likely some industrial cleaner. I raced home even though I was on my way to work and gave her a good clean. I was glad I had the Klasse twins on her and my P21S. It came off well and beaded as you can see.
I'd like to see if anybody else has had their car just nasty dirty. I saw a thread on here and somebody showed off some X5 just filthy, I almost got sick from the pics...let's see what happens
Cheers,
V

going to sequoia national park july 4th weekend... my car ended up with so much ash and dirt on it ... it must have been almost 1/2 cm worth on some areas of my car... also on the drive(ended up arriving at the park at 10 pm) i kept hearing bugs splatting against the car which ended up having the entire front end basically coated in dead bugs... so the front end has so many bugs (luckily i taped it)

No pics of dirty Lex, as they all stay inside garage, covered, but here is pics of my office Hummer recently. Took it to Ocatillo Wells for 4 days (SD, CA), and we had a great time.
Didn't wash it for a month. Everything got so hard on it. Took 300$ to detail and clean it, as all the mud was hard on it. Company paid for the car maintenance

i dunno that i can compete w. that ... the worst mine has ever gotten is the white turned grey, actually grey ... so that to open the driver door i would use one finer which i would absolutely have to wipe off before i touched anything else ... i dont have a pic that captures this dirt well tho ... but there were long streaks running up the hood, over the top, horizontally across the doors ... you get the idea
