How in the world does that happen in the first place? Does he wash his car with a wire brush?

^ Or even the public brush at the do it yourself car washes... I'll use it on my DD because I don't give a **** about it, but NEVER on the Camaro! I won't even take it thru a car wash. It's never seen one in all the years I've had it.

Lol i thpught those where for the rims and tires. I use it for the rims and tires on my dd camary. You can blame me for the grit in there. I take a mitt with me to there. The camary only gets clean about 2x a month.
