Try OffRoader23's No Rust/Dirt mod. Here's a gtagaming link for it; for other download locations, hit the Google.

or use 1.01 patch, that way you can clean all the cars by go to pay n' sprey

I downgraded my GTA so I could Mod it. I recently re installed GTA SA and Would like to keep some of the fixes in GTA 2.0, like the clean cars, and the sound fix. if there a way to keep that, but still make the Dev Trainers and make it fully moddable?

[gillies]

Those were in the 1.01 patch but that limits you from being able to use hot coffee although other mods still work. If the downgrade procedure allows you to use the patch. If it doesn't you probably can't get those fixes but try looking around some of the modding forums for info because you will probably get better answers there than here.

[stevenqwerty]

i looked in this forum and found that gta sa v1.01 the cars can be clean, but can the cars be clean in v2

[jnzooger]

Second Edition is version 1.01. So, yes they can. It a bit confusing since there wasn't going to be a patch yet but Hot Coffee made it come out. If it was a full patch, it would be version 1.1 like III and VC before it.

[gillies]

The "wisdom of the forum" gathered from what people have posted over the last year or so after it came out is that version 2.0 is version 1.0, and the bugs fixed in the 1.01 patch are still present.

i cant get my car clean even if i go to pay 'n' spray and paint it few times.
what happen, people said v2.0 can also clean cars through pay 'n' spray, but mine just doesn't work. i have pc version.
can someone help me plzzzzz!!!

[Girish]

Do you mean the 'Car Wash'???
Well, in both versions of San Andreas, the Car Wash is non-functional. Pay-n-Spray only repaints your car and gives you a new engine if it's damaged. It is not supposed to wash your car. In any case, repainting the car should give you a clean car.

No, he is talking about the Grunge on the sides of the car. On the PS2 you could go to Pay 'n' Spray and remove the amount of grunge on the car, this was absent in V1 of SA

Topicstarter: The only thing I can think of is to downgrade to V1 then put the patch on, which reinstates it to the PC version

[Niteye]

Actually it is on V1.0 that the cars are always dirty and can't get clean. With the patch this is fixed.

[Orion ZyGarian]

Okay, so I've had a hell of a time trying to figure this out...searching extensively all over the internet, and this place is obviously the best.

My roommate just got this game about a month ago, so of course I installed it on my computer as well. Since it is 2007, after the big "Hot Coffee" mess, I knew that the version he had would obviously be without it.

The game disc says "second edition", has Tenpenny on it, and is the DVD edition. So why cant I clean cars? I've seen a few here and there that are clean, but I cant clean any cars that are dirty! The carwash in Los Santos is completely aesthetic; it doesnt do anything at all. Frustrated, I went to the nearby Pay 'n' Spray to clean off the car..the color changes but the grunge still stays! wtf?! It also stays on cars I leave in garages.

Can anyone help my predicament? I would assume that "Second Edition" means v2.00 which means its essentially identical to v1.01, especially since it is a DVD..

My only "mod" is that I dont use the disk. When alt+tabbing while something is loading, more often than not the game freezes, but I suspect the reason is because the whole no-CD thing..not too worried about it, though it is annoying when I'm trying to complete something.

For the record, I do own the game for PS2 anyways. Also, visual quality is on "very high"

[pdescobar]

If you have a modified exe, it is probably based on version 1. Start the game and look in the lower-right-hand corner of the main menu. If there is nothing there, it's version 1.0; otherwise the version number will appear. If it's a version 1.0 exe, get used to dirty cars.

[TheTank]

Ok, You use no-dvd crack? The crack might have changed you .exe to v.1.0.

€dit: pdescobar beat me .

[Orion ZyGarian]

Ohh okay..that makes perfect sense now, thanks! Yeah, I forgot to mention there was no version number in the corner.

I'm curious as if I should try the patch but if I'm still able to keep my car mods I dl'd last night. Apparently my IMG Tool works with version 2, so it should work with 1.01 right?

[PorridgeIsGood]

Hello there.
I recently accumulated enough money to modify my hideous teal "Blista Compact".
Like any gentleman living in San Andreas' hot climate, I requested it be painted white.
Only then did I realise my vehicle had long smears of human excrement on its side.
Is there any way to clean ones' car?

[The-San-Andreas-man]

Try putting it in the water. It's bound to work

[PorridgeIsGood]

I despise when I can't make out sarcasm from sincerity...

[Girish]

If I'm not wrong, this was an issue with version 1 copies of the game. Clean cars existed only in version 2. You might have a v1 copy.

[PorridgeIsGood]

Darn!
I don't suppose one can patch a game to v2 status while remaining the realm of legality?
Quite surprising, as I bought the "Trilogy" edition...

[Girish]

If you bought the trilogy edition, then it could be v2. I'm not sure. When did you buy it? Also, do you see any clean cars in the game?

[Fireman]

Try the carwash, there's one...

errr...

Somewhere, I forgot.

The car washes weren't introduced til IV-the working ones anyway.

The Trilogy Pack for PC is V2 just like the Trilogy Pack for PS2 is the same as the Greatest Hits version, as the saves are completely compatible. I have both versions.

As far as I know, only the Original PS2 release had the "clean car" effect.

I corrected myself on this one, as the ONLY versions that have the Clean car effects are: V2(Stand alone DVD AND the Trilogy Pack), V3( Legal Digital Downloads for PC/the Greatest Hits and Trilogy Packs for PS2-not sure about the X-Box version? It will ONLY work on Medium and High Visual FX quality for PC versions-WILL NOT work on Low Visual FX Quality...V1 of the game for PC do not have this feature unless they use the official patch...Just an update/heads up.

[undeadmilitia]

there's a clean cars mod over at gtagarage.

mayb that can help u

[Daniel_B]

I think that when you start playing after just installing it, the cars are all clean, and then get dirty over a period of about a half-an-hour's worth of gameplay. And strangely, if I remember right, this only happens after the install--if you quit your current game and start a new one, all the cars are dirty from the start.

I just use the "no dirt and rust" mod, which solves the whole problem...

[PorridgeIsGood]

I'm used to the simplicity of Bethesda Softworks' games when it comes to mods.
Whenever I attempt using Chleo, my game fails to start. So I'm stuck with hideous cars.
But at the same time, I want contrast.
I want to have a clean motorcycle in a dirtbike competition...
I want an expensive sportscar in the ghetto. Clean, obviously...

[spaceeinstein]

Clean cars in the PC version is only introduced in v1.01 and up (meaning not the original copy). And it is only working when you have the FX quality to medium or higher. Talk about a good port. v1.01 is easily downloadable on Rockstar's website but mods won't work anymore.

The "clean cars mod" basically just permanently removes the dirt textures on the cars. You'll never see it dirty again but it makes the dirty cars feature so useless.

[PorridgeIsGood]

I run the game at the lowest available texture setting, cranking up view distance (despite having a miniature, laptopesque screen).
But I just mean removing the dirt on the side. You know? The yucky smears that look like fecal matter?
