Comments on XKR when dirty
Has anyone noticed that you get way more comments and people talking to about the car when it is filthy than you do when it's clean? I can't believe how many positive comments I get when the car is covered with salt, pollen, brake dust and mud! I still get some comments when the car is clean, but not nearly as many.
My theory is people are intimidated when the car is sparkling clean. But when it's dirty, not so much. What do you think?

But I think you're onto something here... the many onlookers at the ski hill see the car at its finest, lol.

This depends on if its going to sit in sunlight or not. The heat from sunlight can cause some of the stuff to wish to mate with your paint. You also want to remove bird poo ASAP.

The women who go for the guys in the race edition porsches amaze me. I want to ask them, 'honey do you think you will ever get to drive that car and what happens if you gain a little weight' LOL
Forgive me if this thread was about getting looks from boys, then they probably just want to wash it.

I have no room in my garage, so I have kept my Black XK outside with a Covercraft Noah cover through the fall and winter. I have to say, I didn't need to wash the car all season. I took it out every sunny day I could when the snow was off the roads. The cover has worked out great... maybe some light swirl type marks around the haunches, but honestly they may have been there since I got the car. Getting the cover on and off takes me just a few minutes now that I've done it a bunch of times. I give it a once over with a car duster before putting it back on. I'll probably keep using it during the rest of the year to keep off the bird poop and pollen.
