That's how I was with the Jag when I was driving it regularly. For that matter, I washed my one Porsche after *every* commute one semester...that was back when I had free time Yeah, it does make a huge difference when you don't let them get and stay truly *dirty*.

Must depend on the storage conditions. I quit covering the Jag and the RX-7 because a) it got too easy to completely ignore them and b) they're just too pretty not to see. I was pleasantly surprised that they don't seem to be suffering for it...the dust gets pretty bad after a while, but the fragile single stage is doing just fine. Well, I assume so with the Jag (haven't laid eyes on it since forever), the RX is definitely OK though, I was just looking it over yesterday.

FWIW, the SRP/Souveran combo I use on the Jag held up to over *two years* of uncovered indoor storage. Washed it and it was still slick, shiny, and beading. Sure didn't expect that!
