Depending on their diet it doesn't always come off easily. Feel free to wash (and vacuum) mine any time you feel motivated Steve, before this honeymoon phase wears off.

Having bought mine only a few months ago(I hear yours is almost the same as mine...copy cats!), It's SO true!... except for the complicated fuel monitoring...My ways MUCH easier... when it's close to empty, look at the K's & say, for eg: "wow, that lasted 475km's", then, Fill 'er up, press the odometer to zero & next time your about to fill it up look at how many K's it lasted that time... that's my way of "fuel monitoring". You know the bargain gazebo I got when we were down last... It's now the carport, so THIS car doesn't suffer like the last one!. I even got the mechanic to empty the coolant so I knew which brand to put in and not risk wrecking the radiator by mixing 2 different brands!. I'm also thinking about converting it to LPG.... Any thoughts on the subject?.... From what I've read, It's all good!. Ahh, "new" cars..... aren't they great.... so many possibilities... OH MY GOD!!!…..
