Collecting mud and things

[alanmitch7]

Does anyone find that the A2 needs much more washing down than most cars? One trip out after washing and polishing and quite a bit of grime appears.
Incidentally, has anyone found that fitting mudflaps makes little or no difference or is it just me?[17]

It doesnt get as dirty as the Volvo, mud flaps seem to work on both cars. The Volvo needs awash more often than the A2.

Bottom of the hatch window, below the spoiler is a devil for dirt.

A good wax may help to keep dirt loose and therefore it washed off when it rains, but that depends on how 'off road' you are going!

I found that the mud flaps kept most of the dirt to the sills and very bottom of the door. Before they were fitted it seemed that most of the door would become dirty in a short while. And yes, the window below the rear spolier is a constant pain.
