Add to that the car retaining the damage it took in a race which could be fixed for a fee which would be determined by how much damage you have. Very small touches that although not essential, they would be really impressive.

Its another one of those pointless quirks GT5 is full of.

This is just completely false. There is dirt accumulation, it just takes a very long time. My Minolta has been piling up dirt for a while now in B-spec, I refuse to wash it to see how dirty it ends up.

It would take up the precious memory that the game desperately needs. Pretty much all the downside of the game (shadow, scenery,...) can be point to the PS3's lack of memory.

Because people would whine and complain about having to wash their car every few races...
People will complain no matter what. Even if they took car wash out of the game, some people would whine.

You'd have to ask PD on that one. 👍

I think that if you give a car a carwash, it will simply become shinier.

Apparently back in GT4 it helped handling ?
They should make it that when you car wash a standard it becomes a premium

+1 👍
My Ferrari 430 Scuderia has 2300 km on track now. And the only thing I see are some matte areas around the diffusor and tail lights.
It would take a car raced on track not even 1000km to let it appear completely black. Because the wear, dust, smoke, tyre wear and brake dust in much more higher than in normal traffic.
They should fix it. I would love to see my cars dirty. So I always know, how much they gave me to race with them and it would increase the atmosphere of racing.
And a used looking car is defenitely some levels cooler than bourgeois car always cleaned up.

Not pointless at all. It is part of the original "ownership/maintenance" philosophy and it have real influence in gameplay.
Driving your car in A-Spec/B-Spec accumulates "dirt". It is not dirt per-se, it is more-less visible as car loosing it's shine and becoming more matte.
More important - by "getting dirty" cars loose their aerodynamic properties around 7-10%.
Washing the cars brings aerodynamic back to default.
It is like that since first Gran Turismo.

My X1 has 3000 miles on it and it still looks the same as when I first got it.

thats the way it is.
btw: if you want to "see" the dirt, take a BLACK car ^^ there you see lots of gray and white dirt on it ^^
my black furai been all gray and the spoiler even was near white XD
btw: the glass will become "less transparent" over time if you dont wash your car. but that need LOT OF TIME/KM/MILES
