As anybody who has ever owned a black car should be able to attest, dark-colored vehicles can get dirty pretty quickly. This is especially true when they spend most of their time bombing around racetracks at speeds well in excess of 100 miles per hour, as vehicles often tend to do in Polyphony Digital's fantastic driving simulator, Gran Turismo 7.
Such is the level of realism in Grand Turismo 7 that not only will players' cars get dirty over time, but they'll also need to be washed regularly in order to keep them looking clean. Players won't actually be able to wash their cars right away, but this shouldn't be too much of an issue, as it usually takes quite a bit of driving before a car really needs cleaning.
How to Wash Your Car in Gran Turismo 7
In order to wash their cars, players will first need to complete Menu Book No.7. This means adding a MINI Cooper S '05, an Abarth 500 '09, and a Volkswagen Polo GTI '14 to their collection, all of which can be won as gift cars by securing a podium finish at their respective European races. Once they return to the Cafe, Luca will give players a Roulette Ticket and Menu Book No.8, and GT Auto will become available from the World Map screen.
It just so happens that players will need to wash their car in order to complete the next menu book. To do so, they should head over to GT Auto and select the "Maintenance & Servicing" option. After explanations from Sarah and Clayton, they'll then be able to select the "Car Wash" option from the maintenance menu, which will set them back a fairly reasonable 50 Credits. A short animation will then play out, after which, their vehicle will be looking like a brand new car.
GT Auto is also the place where players can change the color of their cars, or perform a full service. Trophy hunters should also keep in mind that the "Squeaky Clean" trophy is tied to having one's car washed, with the bronze trophy popping once players have had their cars cleaned ten times. It's worth noting that there's nothing stopping players from doing this all in a single session, providing, that is, that they have 500 Credits to spare.
Gran Turismo 7 is available now on PS4 and PS5.
