I got to be honest I hate seeing really dirty vehicles and don’t see the point in it

It only takes 30 - 40 minutes to get a real good clean finish if you keep on top of it. When it gets like that it’s a real nightmare.

I used to have a friend who thought he was impressing people by never washing his car and having the dirtiest car around, he found it entertaining and got a kick from it looking a state for some reason .........Then he tried to wash it and the dirt had eaten into his paint and other mechanical parts and generally made a real mess, the car needed various parts replacing and the paint and bodywork was engrained beyond repair and corroded in various places where it wouldn’t normally be, making the car worthless.

Not saying you have been like that at all, because my bike has looked like yours after riding 300 miles in the rain its certainly not a personal jibe, but it is a good reason not to let it get to bad in my eyes.
