It’s not some vinyl record or a rare book. It’s going to get fucked up eventually. Imagine being in a car and hearing a person seethe and complain for 45 minutes because some kid drew a funny face on your dusty ass door

    If you grind dust into the paint you'll scratch the wax and/or clear coat, which means I am going to have to wash and wax the car again and/or buff it if I want it to look nice again. So please don't. Literally wastes an hour+ of my time for no benefit to anybody. It's like splashing wine on someone's white shirt for a YouTube prank. Sorry your friend is annoying but there's nothing wrong with not wanting your belongings to get fucked up.

        Sure but I'm doing my best to slow that down and I really resent people making more work for me. It's like somebody yanking on the neck of your sweater. Sure it was gonna stretch over time, but why would you shorten that process? Honestly, if nobody fucks with them there's only a few ways cars will get damaged sitting outside and most of them are pretty easily mitigated.

        • bird poop or tree sap eats the paint. solution: rinse it off, don't park under trees
        • rodents eat the wires. solution: neighborhood cats
        • rust eats the metal. solution: remove existing rust, apply Cosmoline or Fluid Film, unclog drain holes as necessary
        • hail dents it. solution: you're fucked, need a roof for this one
