ATTN: Yellow EVO8 owners (+ others)

This is specifically towards the Yellow owners, but others may comment.

I've owned my EVO for about 2 months now - and noticed that the front and rear bumper are getting stained by water lines, and dirt is damn near impossible to come off. Anyone else experiencing these problems or should I just go get a new sponge?

I have a yellow evo, but have only owned it for about 2 weeks now. I have no problems at all. This might be because I have waxed it 3 times already but I haven't noticed anything wrong with the bumpers. Have you waxed them? If so what wax did you use? I can spray my whole car down after it gets dirty. The whole car is so waxed up the dirt just beads off with the water. I'll keep you posted though.

I am having some similar problems, but nothing too severe. I am guessing that a good cleaner wax will do the trick, but I haven't had a chance to wax more than the wing so far.

Can't wait until the kids are old enough to wash & wax Dad's car!

I thought I had a problem before.. I took it to a detailing place where I work and they used a wax that took EVERYTHING right off the bumpers... Get it detailed or do it yourself.. It comes off...
