Uhhh, I've never even considered this as something a car lover would do.
Let's see, Born and raised in Tucson AZ. Dusty but not enough to cover badging. 9 years in the Navy stationed in San Diego. The only place in the world where your car actually stays clean unless you do something dumb like find the only puddle in the county and drive through it. Currently living in Jacksonville FL. About the worst thing we deal with out here is pollen from the pine trees in the spring. Oh yeah and rain once a week.
Until I read this thread, I would have never even guessed you guys did this...
That's awesome.

Bravo to you all!!
