I think it's a color thing eddie. I know my black car looks like **** after a week, up close anyways. And when the wind kicks up, fuhgettaboutit. If it were pewter or nbm, it would probably just look like a darker shade of those colors.

I wash mine only when it needs it. I use the two bucket method with a grit guard and all. I only use Cobra MF towels and dry the car with a leaf blower.

I need to get a leaf blower. I'm thinking of getting one from Walmart for under $30, 140mph I think. Which one do you have?

From the research I did, the best choice bang for the buck is the Toro 225mph leaf blower. I bought mine from Home Depot for $69.99.

Weekend warrior A grit guard is something that lays at the bottom of your bucket to help remove and trap the suds off your mit. You can buy a grit guard from Zaino bro's or Autogeek.

I think I have had the TA out a total of about 7 times since it has been out of storage, and it has been washed 5 times. LOL. Usually I only have to wash it once a month, as I usually spray it down with mothers quick detailer each time I put it away.
