Can you tell what I'm talking about, yet? Do you make it a point (especially for those who live in winter climates) of cleaning off the badges on your vehicle before you go out on the road?

I've got a Cobalt. And everyday (especially when it snows) I take the extra second to wipe clean the Chevy bowties on my car. Might sound crazy to some - but I still do it; Honor and pride, perhaps?

So...Do YOU?

You Forgot about Ponies...

That is the strangest thing I've heard all week. Are you the type to clean off the emblems, but not all of the windows before driving?

....Yes!

I had to clean off the car today, as a matter of fact. (Can you believe it was 60 degrees yesterday? And yet...it snows an inch overnight) Anyways, My car's color is Slate, a kind of light bluey-black. if you looked at it as I pulled out, the whole front and back end (not exaggerating) was white, with only 7 things showing. Headlights, Rearlights, CHMSL, and my bowties!!!

Snow gives me eye problems, Eye can't see living in it.

First off the lot of you not being able to live in snow...you're a bunch of wimps :p

And yes I will clean the bowtie on my Camaro

Everytime I "Zaino" the SS, the "SS" emblems receive heir coat of Zaino as well.

Seeing as the SS doesn't get out anymore unless it's sunny, keeping them looking good isn't a problem.
