as for the fresh water on the hwy, what do you people with fresh waxed vehicled do when it rains, or there is a puddle in the road? and do you realize how much road grime and dust is getting on your vehicle anyway? give me a break, there are more important things in this world to worry about besides water getting on your vehicle!!!
