So far, what is the hardest to keep clean?

Pb82 Ronin · Apr 14, 2022

Since I've owned my AT4 (4500 miles now), I've notice some of the peculiar "trouble areas" to keep shiny or clean. For me, there are a couple of places that just REFUSE to stay clean no matter how much wax, cleaning products or washing I do. I'm curious if I'm the only one in this case, or are there others suffering from the same pains? My trouble areas are:
1) The doors and the shiny black areas in between. These relentlessly hold water spots and refuse to stay clean.
2) In between the tailgate panels of the multigate. Simple enough
3) The grill and headlights. Talk about a bug catcher area. I drive for 5 miles and it looks like I've been on an African Safari and have examples of every flying insect that inhabits the earth.
4) The wiper cowl area. Everything there ever was in nature that is small, and falling, falls right into this area and stays there. This is SO bad that I have to use compressed air to blow that crap out of there. (Yes...everyday)
5) The windshield. Doesn't matter what you treat it with. You live in the country, it will look like a paintball course obstacle when you get home.

These are my tough spots...what about y'all?

Definitely one of the very few drawbacks of living in the country. Ownership since last October, so I didn't get the chance to murder 10's of thousands of bugs last year. I agree with the above mentioned issues, and would like to add the orange rust specs on white paint. Probably going to try clay bar to get them off. Did a Google search but nothing stood out as an easy way to remove them.

I live in a very rural place so it’s just something I have to get used too! The blackout wheel wells are made of a horrible product because mud , sand sticks too it like a mouse on a glue trap! These were made for pavement queens

! I’m ocd but with living out here for 2 years I’ve had to get over it a little bit!
