The dirtiest make/model?

[imported_dfazekas]

Out of curiosity, have any of you noticed that particular makes and models of cars are dirtier than others?



For example, every time I do a Mercedes or a Volvo they're always trashed.



Generally speaking, what have you guys found to be the dirtiest make/model of car?

bmw's! I usually get black ones that are pretty hammered! LOL

For me it's always the SUV's like 4Runners or Lexus that have those ridiculous side moldings around the wheels/fender that seem to collect tons of dirt. Once you open the door it's like more dirt between the door jambs and fender.... I hate them.

Chevy Mailbu, Ford Ranger & King Ranch seats seem to suck up dirt like crazy.

I'm talking about when that rubber coating starts to fall apart. I've done 2 of em and both were crapped out!

On that note the trunk of an E-Class. I seem to get quite a bit of them and I have yet to solve this. The trunk carpet is like a brillo, I know it reduces road noise but its really annoying to get clean.

I think VW used left over stock from hook and loop back plate manufacturers to produce their carpets.

Ford Super Dutys



First generation Ford Expeditions



Chevy Cobalts

I know exactly what you're talking about.



I've tried compressed air, brushes, lent rollers, duct tape, pet hair brushes...heck I even tried to pressure wash one before...



Nothing short of picking out every piece of dirt by hand gets me anywhere.





I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Volvo xc90 yet...maybe its just me, but the only time I've ever seen a clean one is on the showroom floor.

Mazda 3's! Carpet sucks and the back wheels get dirty as all hell! Seems a lot of cars get extremely dirty back wheels.

Every Pontiac Grand Prix, Nissan Altima, Honda Civic, and Toyota Corolla I've worked on has been neglected to the point of "why bother?" when it pulls into my driveway. Then the client says, "I'm trying to sell it, so I need it to look like I've taken care of it for the last ___ years." Rather than argue, and say, "well why DIDN'T you take care of it this whole time?!" I just say, "No problem, that'll be $____. "
