Here's how it goes. First you spend the day detailing it. Then you take it for a ride and it gets a little dusty. You dust mop the car and admire it. Then the next day you drive it again, a little harder and the rear gets a little dark from the exhausts and dust collects near th eopen of the rear deck. Then you drive it more. Now the engine bay gets a light oil spray. Now I really drive it! Then some grease splatters from the half shafts. Then I drive the shit out of it. Then a hairline of oil starts seeping out from the manifold and trickles down the block. Now I take it everywhere. After a few days it's really dirty, so I dry wash the car and detail the engine bay. Then I stare at it for a few days. Then it starts all over again.
Ahh... but you California kids have sunshine every day and don't have to put up with weeks of pouring rain and months of snow and salt - which is why we do all that detailing in the first place.
