mine is about as shiny as a dried turd right now. i havent been able to wash it in a while because of all of the rain.
btw, another way to remove bugs is to use a sponge that has 'mesh' side. i bought one for $2 and its great. i dont have to use the bug and tar remover anymore. i didnt like it because it got very streaky.
im planning on washing my p5 tomorrow............................
