Taking a wild guess that car will never see a New England winter... I just picked up an 09 250 AWD, and am still keeping it clean, however that will be a moot point come November when the snow starts (not to mention the 100 tons of salt that end up on our roadways).



Nice ride though, it's good to see people taking care of their investments.

I can vouch for this, your ride is ALWAYS looking clean when I see you...

very good for a dark color....I use the duster also but was told by a detailer that you can still drag residue over your paint and cause some form of scratches. So I stop using mine till I can verifiy that statement.
