Their ability to see supersedes your car's cleanliness

Did you ride his bumper for a few miles afterwards to show him who's boss? I bet he would have felt terrible if he knew how upset you were.

I wish I could wash and wax mine. We just got another 8 inches of snow. I am ready for spring. I always spray my windshield washer fluid if someone is unnecessarily riding my tail. It tends to back them off.

here's some advice... wash your car, put it in the garage, cover it, then go use public transportation.

It happens to everyone. You just gotta deal with it. But like mentioned above, try some quick detailer, brand of your choice.

You know OP, I gotta totally agree. You'll be happy to know, that in order to preserve the wax finish of my fellow drivers, I have started cleaning my windshield with old newspapers and windex on the windshield exclusively. I have gotten pretty good at steering my TL with my feet and having a pet rabbit control the speed while I lurch out of my window at highway speeds. FYI: AWESOME CORE EXERCISE

Sure, I've had a few close calls (try texting while cleaning a windshield at 70mph, my bad), but hell, I've had a few tailgaters that'd otherwise been blasted give me a by 'ol THUMBZ-UP D00D for being so conscience of my fellow drivers.

I did have a bad incident once where the rabbit just wasn't in the mood to drive, so I had to go without cleaning...I ran a family of 5 off the freeway, but WTF? I don't wanna damage your wax!

If i find someone on my ass, especially when Im going over the speed limit, I drench them. I then laugh my ass off cause they put their wipers on high. Also in the meantime while they are so pissed off, they try to get over and pass me, therefore I speed up and block them in.

I'm more worried about bird shit landing on my car.

Seriously. If you're going to rant about someone cleaning their windshield, what will you do when it rains???

"Today morning i went to clean and wax my car... after my car was done i was driving home and some f... cloud in the sky starts dumping water on me and damn! my car got dirty again"

Quit following people so closely. The windshield washer fluid is meant to clear the windshield while people are driving, and if you're following somebody close enough to get sprayed when they do so, then you deserve to get dirty again.
