A couple of days driving (30 to 50 miles) does it for me. It's a bit of a pain, as the rest of the car stays spotless for a week after a full blown cleaning, but the front spokes ruin the image very quickly <grin>. I'll look into the back plate thingy..... This is my first Saab, and at the price of them here, I'd certainly want it to look the part. I have the 9-3 S model (ie, light powered Turbo), and the on-road cost (dealer charges, govt fees, etc) is $76,500 australian (about $50,000 american). cheers Klaas On Tue, 14 Dec 1999 17:03:59 -0800, Mike Zampiceni <mikeznopsamcape.com> wrote: >I think there's a back plate you can buy that keeps dust from getting onto >the wheels, or at least reducing the dust.
