Wow that's some neglect. How about swapping out those rusted wiper blades? That looks terrible. Why even let it get run down like that in the first place.

How is this a constructive post? Maybe the guy lives in a construction area or is just busy with something more important in his life. Chill out man, anyway to the op, it looks really good its much easier to keep up with keeping it clean than cleaning it like hell after it gets that dusty.

That's quite the difference! Looks a lot better man.

That clear lid still looks horrible though, I would either trade it or paint it satin black asap.
