Clutch said:EDIT: I don't know what everyone's car situation is, but in the winter, it is very important to wash your car. When they put down salt and dirt to break up the snow it also gets caked on under your car, in the wheelwells and on the body. After being under there it will begin to eat away at the undercarrage/body of the car, destroying your baby and it's potential resale value. If they salt/dirt your streets and highways, I would say go at least once a month starting soon after the first salting/dirting or the roads and get the full service (whatever includes getting the underside cleaned and "coated").
Just a friendly tip on car maintance and protection from your resident car guy, Clutch!

Clutch said:Cars that look good never go fast. Least not round here. LOL!!!! Round here the better a car looks = there's less going on under the hood = slow car. LOL!!!
Sorry. Track mentality. LOL!!!
I kinda feel the same, but if you reall break down the physics of it all, technically, when cleaned of excess dirt and other caked on stuff, you car weighs slightly less, increasing the power to weight ratio and lessening the inertial force that needs to be over come to accellerate. And also helps with handling and braking. LOL!!!
It's sucks to be a car guy who is in to technicallities! LOL!!!!!
IMO, a clean car seems to drive better, faster.
