the only time my car was dirty was right before my wedding which was 3-4 months that i didnt have time to wash it because i was busy planning a wedding with my wife and buying / fixing up the house i purchased which needed alot of work and i had no time to myself....
now that thats over i wash the car religiously.... and it always stays clean... u can ask ppl at the meet last time i went how spotless it was... even the dents have been fixed and car looks immacualte minus the front bumper scratch from when the lady hit me...
like u said that was way back in the day and its never been that dirty since nor it will be again thanks!

no clear bra here.. i have chips also from driving 40 miles a day on the expressway in heavy traffic.. its hard especially for any tc thats light colored.. SW, silver, baby blue...
best thing is to just wipe it down every few days with a meguires car wash with the additive to take off bugs and road tar.. then just wax it every once in a while.. theres not much that can be done... the clear bras are great but when u take them off they sometimes bakethemselves on the paint or they leave yellowish residue on the bumper which is a PITA to take off.. also with time the color fades so u might have an inconsistency in color from what was covered in clear bra VS no covered...
no mater what with time theres nothing u can lol... just repaint is the only solution to keeping it brand new.. or just dont drive it much lol.
