whenever i get to work, i feel compelled to clean the bug corpses off the front bumper and fenders, and re-detail the wheels if necessary. am i alone? (i fear i may be ;-)

Do you park in a garage, or out in the open?

Default Not when I get there. Sitting in the parking lot at work it gets very dusty.

A quick detail right before the drive home is another story.

This way the car stays clean through the next trip into work.

Default out in the open. no covered parking here, sadly. we've had a number of hailstorms recently too :-(

basically, every time there's a risk of hail, i have to work from home or take a vacation day. pretty annoying.
