    I too spend a lot of time on dusty roads. The best thing I have found to do is "Justa live with it". Real cars get dirty. :)

    I limit my speed to 10mph on the driveway. I have to add 5 minutes to planning just for that.

    I live on a back country dirt road and have the same problem. Mine looks good for about a day or two then it looks like it was at Dakar. I use a Cal Duster on real lite stuff, anything heavier is another bath. I guess I could do like this guy, I have wanted to start sketching again.

    Good grief! I thought you Yankees were all sophisticated. First you don't have sweet tea and now no paved roads. Man I'm glad I live in Tennessee where we have both. :biggrin5:
    But I do feel for you. I thank my MINI sucks up every peace of dirt off the PAVED road and then it sticks to the back of it.

    I would Dave, but I live in PA, where there are no paved roads. A few are tar & chip and the rest are dirt. :D

    We(C3M) were up your way on a run this past Sunday. We had a great

    lunch at Frontier BBQ, they also had a good bluegrass band playing.

    I too live 1.5 miles off concrete here in Nebraska. Dusty or muddy...it's annoying but I deal with it. Wax up really well, rinse often and use the best microfiber you can to dry with. I do limit both MINIs to 20mph on gravel and I'm getting used to it.

    I'm also looking for an enclosed trailer to solve this issue.... :D
