Gravel Roads...

Does anyone who lives on a gravel road (mine is about 3/4 of a mile long) have any tips on how to keep it clean? It's my daily driver so it's not really avoidable. Thanks!

The best thing you can do is get some sealant on it ,a couple coats so that the dirt will slough off instead of sticking. Many available, a good one is Blackfire Crystal seal.
Protect areas from rock hits with XPEL paint film.

Also drive very slow, which is very hard to do!

Or, if google isn't a friend, just someone you work with, I've found the autogeek's forum to be very helpful for learning about stuff like this:

http://www.autogeekonline.net/

And their store: autogeek.net

Glen's HOWTO's are great, but there's also a ton of advice, videos, etc on the forum.
