I think that's actually true depending on the slickness of two different paints. Say a 96 Integra never detailed compared to a 01 Integra detailed reguarly. I'm pretty sure drag coefficient results have concluded this is true.

My car definitely runs better when it's clean.

Like the Stealth Bomber. They wax taht thing like every day... that's why it's so fast and can't be detected.

I like to think my car performs better when it's detailed. Whether there is any difference whatsoever...I cannot say.
Undoubtedly, the aerodynamic styling of the vehicle determines 99.9% of the drag coefficient.

There was an audio clip a while back that was all over auto forums. It was a clip about how a guy waxed his Iroc Camaro so well that the speed detecting radars would bounce off. Then he went into saying that the military waxes the Stealth Bomber like everyday to keep it so "stealthy".
