Flying on paved strips only helps a lot. My airplane was based on a
grass/dirt strip for several years and pledge and a diaper just wouldn't cut it! We fly into a grass strip half a dozen times per year, and it takes Pledge, diapers, and Simple Green (on the fiberglass parts) to clean up after those excursions... Likewise, I have a 1700' gravel driveway and my cars definitely need a water bath before washing or I'd have my paint ground away in a few washings. Gravel driveways are the norm in rural Iowa. You can really tell the "out-of-towners" by the beaters they drive into town. I'm sure they don't see much point in buying an expensive car when you basically trash it without ever leaving your property. (Of course, crushing rural poverty has something to do with this, too...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
