Don't worry. One trip down to the mall and my car (especially bottom half) is covered by dust. I want to go wipe it off but my whole family is asking my I'm so obsessed with this car! If I start polishing tires I think I will be going over the line!

Hah!..... thats funny!.... I know what you mean.. I can't stand the fact that rain crap is all along the bottom of my new prius!... I was out in the rain today with a water hose rinsing off the car with a hood and coat on in the pouring rain!... I'm sure I looked like a real idiot to the neighbor across the street that seems to see everything!

I finally decided that until I wiped it with something it wasn't going to come off.... I drew the line at that and came in the house!...

Its tough keeping a car clean where I live this time of year.

I don't know alot about tire preparations... some of them are oily and only attract dirt... but If you could find something that actually repelled dirt that would be nice.
that what I'll be looking for.

Hey if your gonna spend this much money on something you ought to be excited about it or you shouldn't have gotten it or else you have a ton of money to waste.

They don't understand because they are not in your shoes.... don't let them bug you.... Its cool to have something nice enough to cherish and take care of.

You can tell your wife or your family, that they say that if you want to see how a man takes car of his wife, look at how he takes car of his car!

I'm sure she will have some smart remark for that.

Funny thing is I traded in a much more expensive car to get this Prius! I got 2006 Pkg#8 and still got a check back from the dealer on my trade! I had 2005 Cadillac SRX fully loaded (nav, rear entertainment, HUGE sunroof, etc) and although it truly is a nice SUV (we called it station wagon on steroids) I enjoy this Prius so much more.

I'm the SHE. My husband just opens the garage door and smiles! I hear the snide comments but I think he's happy that I'm happy.

I know it may not be the best of the best, but I'm amazed at how well Armour all rates!
