    Is it always literal, as in 'not dirty'?

    Or can it also be used to mean 'not modded'? For example, sometimes I'll see cars described as clean in discussions about modding, and it seems like they're referring to how a car has very minimal mods, no wild bodykits, maybe just rims, looks very stock, etc.

    Pretty much a smoothe clean car. Meaning, nothing stands out, looks awkward on the car. Everything just flows.

    well, from my understanding and use of the word which i see as it being pretty accurate atleast with the people i use it with, it just simply means that is a nice car over all. it isn't trashed, it isn't abused, modded or not, it is just gravy (not literal). like, someone called my z clean.. it was actually a little dirty but it had a scratch there and here and it is 13 years old and moderatly modded. someone else (same type of person though [age, place in life, stuff like that]) said my new benz was "clean". so clean as in like, nice, good condition, i wouldn't mind to say it was mine, cool.. things like that.. i say it.. i sometimes say it when you dont know what else to say.. like my friend got a 90 sentra and she is hella excited about it.. i told her i really liked it and thought it was clean. lol.. but i also told my friend his new 355 was "clean".. so you know, it means what i said at minimum.. but it doesn't actually mean not dirty, not modded, not crashed, not anything.. like, clean is nice, it feels nice, it smells nice its all around nice..

    A clean car is an automobile that has never been used to carry small children. Anything else - be it a dump truck or a Massy Ferguson muck spreader is ‘clean’.
