Default "Clean"...WTF?!?

Okay I actually did a search and couldn't be bothered after the 2nd page of "CLEAN" related posts.


WTF does "CLEAN" mean nowadays....I initially thought it meant decal free...but then I see people calling cars full of decals "clean"...I then thought it was a car that isn't ricey, but then I say a gold Civic with a JDM ITR front-end, CF hood, and red carpet called "CLEAN". I then assumed that it just meant clean in the conventional sense of the word, (as in "not dirty")...but then I actally saw apost of a dirty car called clean.

This word has been thrown around here so much, I actually don't know what it means anymore. Is it a 'good thing' to have a CLEAN car nowadays or has it become rice like JDM has apparently become. What's the deal?? Its actually pisses me off to see the word clean now...someone please enlighten me.

Dude. . . I was think the exact,I mean EXACT same thing about 3 minutes before reading this post.I was almost word for word,wierd. . .I'm interested to hear too.
I think alot of people just write stuff to fit in without really knowing wtf they talking about.I just write whatever I think not what I think people wanna hear.
Or maybe some people just have a different meaning of clean.People are wierd.

I think, for the most part, they use the word "clean" like they use the phrase "it looks good". I think the word "clean" has now become an opinion. I think "clean" used to refer to a vehicle as actually being clean(not dirty) on the interior, decal free, and moldings shaved, spoiler shaved, etc.

If it looks natural, like it's supposed to be there, IMHO that's clean. Just so happens that I think my car is clean

Well, Bro I just so happen to agree with you as your ride is an excellent example of cleanleness, Good Job . Idd say anything displacing it's natural line, decal and rice free, not slammed into the weeds and not posesing a huge monstrosity of a muffler would hold the title well.

Gotta keep it clean
Like james dean
when he was only seventeen, ooohhhh.

Seriously, it probably has no REAL meaning to it. It just got tossed up and people started using it for no reason.

I believe it is all about how everything flows together. A car can have vinyl, a carbon fiber hood, but it's all how it is executed. It can even come down to the size of the wheels, tires and amount of lowering the car has.

This is a pic of my car from this past weekends car show and I feel my car is pretty clean. I think it is well executed and everything flows together. Some people were telling me to get 18" because another civic in our crew rolls on 18" and looks great. But I don't really believe 18" would look very good with the C-west Kit due to the fact it doesn't hang much lower than stock. As for my friends car she has Combat Sideskirts, Rear Bumper and a stock front bumper with Mugen Lip. Her car looks good with 18", but it's more suited for her car. If I were to change my bodykit then I would probably go with the 18"..but as of right now I have a C-west Style Kit and the 17" and the wheel gap/lowering to me is perfect.

Her Car
