Default Anybody notice when hand cleaning your box,

There are noticeable, when viewed close enough, greyish skid marks randomly placed the front part of the box. I dunno what they are from and they're teh equivalent of what rubber soles would do to a gym floor. Gotta rub on em hard to get rid of it. It's ____ing me off.

Are they all over the front or just in a certain area like below the lower grill? When we got ours, there was still a little bit of the packing cover stuff on the lower part.

It's not really ALL over the front. It's really small and only in 2 or 3 different areas of the front part of the car everytime I clean it. They come in groups parallel to each other.

Yeah i think i know what you're talking about. I have seen those on the side skirt on the driver side. I think they are from my shoe soles accidently hitting or rubbing against the car when I'm getting out. I've made a conscience effort to remember to be careful when I get out now, but sometimes its hard when I'm in a hurry. And yeah theyre really hard to get out. There are still like two little streaks that I havent been able to wash off yet.

Could it perhaps be from the hose hitting the car as you move from one side of the car to the other. I don't know, but next time you wash it you might want to keep an eye on the hose.

A clay bar takes them right off. I get those streaks on the side skirts from getting in/out all the time. Not sure how they got on the front of your box, but a clay bar will get them out for sure.
