Anyhow, these California Dusters I highly recommend, just make sure you keep them shook out as you use them, I will do a pass or two and shake it out, then repeat until I am done getting all the dust off my car. This Duster amazes me at what it can actually remove off the car.

post a pic of your car in direct sunlight. does it look like the before pics here?

"To each their own" as athe saying goes. When I drove a Prowler as a daily driver for 5 1/2 years some people told me I was crazy. I drove it on dirt roads, gravel roads, unpaved parking lots and parked it at shopping centers, drove it in snow, rain - whatever. And it had a custom hand painted job on it. I'd clean it up for car shows and won more than several trophys/awards with it.

For me - cars are meant to be driven AND and have fun with, not worry about getting them dirty. If I have to avoid places I want to go, it just doesn't seem right. I am excited about just getting my Camaro convertible and you bet it will driven to Mom's house - wherever she lives!

I recently discovered there are autocross events near me on dirt tracks set up in a farmer's field. I was thinking of running my Camaro on it at least once next season. Looks like it would be a blast.

Camaro's and dirt roads. Sounds like a song that would make a good video. I need to get off this computer. 50 degrees in January and I'm sitting on my but. What's the matter with me.
