Airborne contaminants, corrosive chemicals, acid rain, and extremely harsh weather. Curse these agents of evil! They all contribute to dull and destroy your car's shine. Left unchecked, they will eat through and oxidize your paint, leading to premature deterioration of your car's paint. Only regular maintainance will retain your car's radiant shine and prelong the life of your paint. But you must be careful! Detailing can be addictive. The first time you try it, it makes you feel "oh so good" because your car looks so clean and shiny. After that, you'll wash it again and again to maintain that high. And you just can't stop! You'll become obsessed with keeping your car glowing like a family near Three Mile Island, caring for it week in and week out. You'll find yourself developing a deep hatred for dirt, rain, and bird droppings, which are incarnations of Satan himself that are out to destroy you and your vehicle. You'll detail every moment you get, as you hear your neighbors chant "Call the nuthouse, Emma! That freak's washing his/her car in the rain again!" You'll ... ummmmm ... I digress. Anyway you get the idea. If you're crazy about keeping your Legend clean, you should consider joining the already large cult of Religious Perfectionists (back at the Owners & Enthusiasts page). The order consists of fanatical Legend owners bent on maintaining their Legend to its most clean state.
