He he...Good thing you qualified it with covering the time you've owned it. All imported cars that arrive in the US get run through a car wash. I used to laugh when I was based in Long Beach. All of the car carrying ships tied up there and emptied their cargo. Because the cars can sit there for a week or two, they get a lot of smog grudge on them. So, when prior to getting loaded onto whatever (train, truck, etc.) they run them through a car wash. It's a Hanna softwash system so it's pretty good. I had a friend who had a Jaguar and he swore his car had never been *yuck* through a car wash.....
