Re: I'm ashamed...
HaHaHa! No problemo!!! I probably should be ashamed to admit I like to keep mine slightly to moderately dirty. Less work and people don't see you as the prissy owner of a garage queen.
Slightly dirty, as opposed to completely detailed, is good in Fall and Winter because you're more likely to drive a dirty car than a clean one during those times.
Dirty little secret: I think dirty 911 Porsches look tougher than clean ones. Since the car is slightly feminine with all those curves and shapes dirty is "mas macho."
Gotta tell ya Res, your car has crossed the line. It's "obviously" dirty which is a fashion faux pas!!

Re: I'm ashamed...
Thats nothing compared to my X5 , Res..A valet come around to give mine a clean and on finishing he told me the alloys had pitted and that I should get on to BMW to claim under the warranty .. However , because I dont carry out a regular clean , the so called black pit bits on the alloys were just baked on tar spots which I then cleaned off myself..
You be amazed what your finger nails can do when put too good use , they were thrigging sore though..

Guys, for what it's worth, try to say "No problema" with an "a" at the end of "problema", as it is this way that it's written.
Also, "mano a mano" does NOT mean "man to man". "Man to man" would be "hombre a hombre". "Mano a mano" means "hand to hand" as when helping someone. It just sounds silly to the those of us who speak Spanish/Castilian. By the way, Castilian=Spanish.

Well... that's just ruined MMD's next visit to Spain..
Re: I'm ashamed...
HaHa..., oops sorry.
At least I knew what "mano a mano" means.
The "no problem_o_" thing is probably permanently messed up in the public's mind because people like to say emphatically "Nooooooo Problemoooooo, " to be funny.
I'll try to say it correctly here in the usa; though it might cost me points on the humor scale. Will definitely watch my language next time I come to Spain.

Agreed, however, Autoglms Tar Remover is your friend.
Works wonderfully.
