Mudplugging

I hope you didn't leave it muddy for somebody else to clean...??

I'm sure you didn't.

However, looking around at aero clubs there seems to be a mentality of - 'I'm the customer - I don't clean aeroplanes. '

Nobody does it - well other than when the moon is well and truly blue - and the net result is the hirer complains about the state of the aircraft fleet.

it is a battle at this time of year.

Help keep the costs down - your costs down ultimately - by just slooshing the aircraft down in the winter and in the summer - get the bugs off for the next punter.

I always wash my aircraft after flight - so nice to take the dust covers off to reveal a gleaming machine rather than one bugged and crudded up.

As a student - flying doggy old Condors - we were expected to do this and got a bxxxxxxxxg if we didn't, customer or otherwise. A habit that has never died after 27 years.
