Is anyone here afraid to wash these cars, have heard on this forum how they rust so easily. I do have two small rust spots on the car. I so far have only driven it on good weather days no to get it dirty but after a year it is dusty. Here in S. Arizona it gets dusty faster than most places. Besides from being dusty it is still clean all over. Have not washed it since I have had it in 11 months.
