If you drive it, it gets dirty. If you don't drive it, why have it?

People who state "never driven in rain" crack me up.

SS, I'll see your rock chip and raise you a severly scraped front spoiler !! A little scrape here and there is a small price to pay to be able to have so much fun.

My wheels are very very dirty, but the car still drives OK Maybe will clean them once it warms up a bit maybe in March. When I first got the car I kept it spotless, but that only lasted a few months.

It happens to a lot of us - we get a new car and all we do is clean it when we are not driving it but that tends to wear off. But yesterday eve I took some time to clean my wheels since they were pretty bad after a couple days of sprited driving.

I have read it does not work when on Black wheels, which mine are (Satin); however, I am going to give it a shot today and see for myself. It does work great on my wife's Silver-painted wheels that she has on her SUV.

Bob, I'm sure it will "work", though, it may leave behind a white residue or haze against a black wheel. Probably not desirable.

Cow Creek claims another scalp! Hope it isn't too bad. I do know another rock chip materialized for someone else. No tears though!
Mine was addressed yesterday and looks great!
