First a pick of the tahoe after a trip around the block in the rain. The tahoe has Natty's blue on it from a 2 months ago, washed weekly. I'm not comparing the natty's to the cg, only illustrating the amount of moisture out there in many of my morning drives.

Next are the shots of the Audi with cg 5050 on it. this is after driving the wife in this morning for an hour, then making a quick trip around the block.
