A man after my own heart. I clean my wheels and exhaust tips after EVERY drive, even if it's only ten miles. I always thought German pads were bad, but the Jaguar pads are much worse.

As much as a shiny car makes me smile, if I were that diligent I've be spending all my (scarce) spare time cleaning. I suppose that's the good/bad of daily driving. The Porterfield pads are much better than stock. I use the Diamond Wheel Coating and am not sure how effective it really is since I've been using it from the start.
