I wash mine . . .xsalvationx said:Some people think I'm OCD because I wash my car twice a week.
xsalvationx said:Ok everybody, I am from Chicago and am living in Texas till April. Anyway it's farm country and the property that I'm living on has outside cats living on it. To save money I started to wash my toaster myself instead of going to touchless car washes. Every morning I wake up or as soon as I finish washing my car, I see dirty cat paw prints all over my hood and mud smears on the roof and lower side of my XB.Is there anything I can do or are there any tips to give me to keep these cats from walking all over my car? I wanted to get a car cover but I don't think it would be worth it since I wont be here that much longer and there are no cats where I live at. I always hope my car alarm would scare them off but I guess they don't give enough impact when they bounce on the hood. Help a fellow XB lover! :help:

I have covers for my scooters, and the little rat bastards find a way to get up under it and leave paw prints on the seat. My Yamaha has a textured seat material that is harder to get the dirt out of with just one swipe. And they are my/our own two cats. Cant have garage door closed all the time. If its not ours its the neighbors cats so its a losing battle. He has a Camero collection. He advises to be careful of covering painted surfaces with material that doesn't breathe which could lead to paint blistering.Chimuka said:HI,
I keep a piece of magnetic sheeting around to put over the hood. That way if a cat jumps up on the hood, the protector item does not go sliding. It's thick enough so claws do not go through it as well.
