After reading all the posts about removing the nose mask regularly and not leaving it on when it's wet, I began to get nervous because I left mine on since the day I bought it. I live in New England and this last winter was a nasty one for wear and tear on cars.

When it came off I was shocked. It was as pure as the day I bought it. That is after taking a little bit of Meguires #1 paint cleaner (fine for clear coats) and applying some Meguires Carnuaba.

I only wish the rest of my car faired as well. I will probably need to get a new mask soon though. The Nissan mask is getting a little tired and the elastics are starting to weaken.
