Can you even clean cars?
Ive tried cleaning my hood with buckets of water and rags and towels, no option or anything?

Did you have soap or cleaning stuff?

I've cleaned cars with just water. I used to think you needed cleaning stuff (it probably lowers the amount of water used), but nope. You can just do it with water. I did have a bucket with water, though. Maybe that helped.

One thing to note is, you can only clean blood. The ugly rust/dirt you see on some cars? Nah, can't clean that.

Cleaning cars is finicky. You have to click on just the right place on the car for the option to come up.

This, seems to work best right on the center of the hood/between the head lights area.

Clicking the tire has been the most consistent in my experience. But FR, I hate how it's a guessing game as to where to click to interact with a car.

I think holding "V" next to a car with the items to wash will let you wash it ? Idk tho, never cleaned my car in PZ.

You know, I've actually never tried that, I'll try and report back out of curiosity. Plus that'd be much easier.

Tested: I didn't get an option to Wash the vehicle when pressing V for vehicle options. But was getting the option on the right click menu when clicking the hood as I suggested.

Also tested this and can agree. Clicking both a front tire and a back tire gave the option, so a little more testing it seems you just need to click on a very low portion of the vehicle.

Thanks for confirming.

Also came to say that you can wash a car so long as you have a water container. I tried it out with a bottle of water and no other cleaning chemicals/supplies.
