I personally do not like the look, but they do make front and rear mudflaps for the C4. I remember redeasysport ran them on his and said they helped a lot. Don't need them around here.

I never get tired of seeing pics of that car.


On the other hand, mine gets ridiculously dirty when I drive it in the rain.

Get yourself a good random-orbital buffer (a.k.a. Porter-Cable,) and it will do wonders (I bought myself one for Christmas and it removed all of the weird stuff that accumulates on the front end).

And I personally can't STAND the looks of that car ESPECIALLY since he bought another one! jus' kiddin'

One other way might be X-pel or 3M's "clear bra" stuff.

With a 4800 mile car, no matter how carefully you drive, things will kick up.

YOu can wash, clean, use all kinds of bug/tar remover (3M Gen Adhes. cleaner works well for tar), wax, seal, etc., but it IS gonna look awful sooner or later.

Just do the best you can. Like ron2vette--what an uglee car he's got!

I drive mine just under 20000 per year. Its not a problem, keep it waxed and you'll be fine.
