I still don`t believe in grit guards.
That`s just nuts.
So really any wax add or add for a detailer showing a logo of a car (at least a ford one) might run into problems too.

Are they fer real?
A man has got to recognize his limitations, and then learn how to adapt within those confines. Then go out and conquer.
Well since it said cars I guess I`m OK
I own 5 Ford vehichles but none of them are cars.

Well 7 more to go!

Looks like FORD has backed off
Here is a copy & paste from another site.
Due to immense public pressure, Ford has backed off this and other clubs: A message on the BME Forums today says,
My name is Whitney Drake and I work in Ford Communications.
We’ve been watching this discussion with interest and I’d like to
clarify what is essentially a misunderstanding.
Yesterday we spoke to both Cafe Press and the Black Mustang Club
and explained the situation (about the Black Mustang Club’s calendar) to everyone’s satisfaction. Ford has no problem with Mustang or other car owners taking pictures of their vehicles for use in club materials like calendars. What we do have an issue with are individuals using Ford’s logo and other trademarks for products they intend to sell. Understandably, we have to take the protection of our brands and licensing very seriously.
Ford did not send the Black Mustang Club a “cease and desist” letter telling them that they could not use images of their own cars in their calendar. The decision not to allow the calendars to be printed was made by Cafe Press, because we had gotten in touch with them in the past about trademark infringements on products they sold.
The Black Mustang Club, and any other Ford enthusiast club, are free to take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials as long as they don’t use Ford trademarks in products that will be sold.
I think it is great that the Black Mustang Club, and any other enthusiast club, would take pictures of their own vehicles for use in calendars or other materials.
I’m looking forward to purchasing a copy to hang in the garage next
to my Mustang (even if mine isn’t black).
Thanks for giving us the chance to have our say.

I thought that sounded a little odd as well.
Maybe they are viewing it as a "club" sell and some something that is going out to the general public. If you think about these people are basically buying pictures of their own cars.
But yes it does sound like a contradiction.
