it was actually pretty dirty, i havent washed it in 2 weeks. i was surprised pic came out this shiny =) even tho it rained 30 times after i washed it.

but for the wheels, in 6 months after i quit my job i will swap out the wheels and there is a specific look im going for (pic below)..

right now i cant change it because i drive at 5am through the country roads and i dont wanna lower the car and cream another animal (like I did this morning)

I hear ya. When my car is like over a week of not being washed and the dust and dirt build on the hood and behind the front wheel well, it's like "ugh.... people are going to see this car and think mine a bum for not keeping the car clean." It's embarassing in a way....

Plus, you have that fine black color that looks clean for all of 10 minutes - even on the best of days.

Folks from the southwest advise owners of black cars to buy a California car duster so you can just whisk the dust off your car and have it looking just-washed. What a hoot. In humid climates, one drag of that duster across the car leaves a smeared mess of goo that's far worse than leaving it alone.
