Yep im with you guys! i have a "dark stone" colored truck and it just look horrible all the time now. Here in Utah they go nuts with the road salt cause of all the elevation changes. But the sun has been out for a few days got a chance to get a good wax and detail in before the next round of storms!

I'm in the same boat here. I really want to keep my new truck clean but the winter weather is making it impossible to do so. Snow, salt, cold - enough already! It's supposed to warm up into the upper 40s Friday/Saturday so hopefully I'll be able to get some of the crap off of my truck. Can't wait for spring!

ox·y·mo·ron (ks-môrn, -mr-)
n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra (-môr, -mr) or ox·y·mo·rons
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.
mblouir - When it's 11 degrees out and I note that "It's supposed to warm up into the upper 40s" it's certainly not an oxymoron. It's a comparative statement - upper 40s is warmer than 11, unless you're doing some sort of strange math. You should have read the definitions in your link before you posted. The conversation here was about the frustration in having a dirty truck due to the very cold weather, nothing else. Can't wash your truck in freezing weather you know.

It was a joke, I wasn't taking a shot at you. Chill. (no pun intended)
