Well if I never use when it rains etc, I wouldn't have needed to spend time cleaning it as it would still be showroom fresh. :D

However, I try not to use it when there's salt on the road. No underseal and I don't intend to put any on.

No, it might scratch the paint.

I just check with the local Met Office before I go out. :)

I polished my nuts today as well Kev.. :wink:

Looking very nice.. 8)

Of course one advantage of the Spec. C is it doesn't have all the crud sprayed under it like the UK cars do.. :)
