Same issue here. I wouldn't worry about it though since their are people on here that daily drive their slammed cars with no issues during the harsh midwest winters.
Very clean ride, and of course it had to rain the next day.

Had Ziebart apply the winter coat of Diamond Gloss last Thursday and then it rained on Saturday (and today). The SRT will get a well-deserved break this winter starting in January when I get a company take-home car (the Subaru that I'm driving at work).

Your car looked good! Don't you hate Murphy's Law when it comes to washing your car?

myneonsayshi- yeah i am not really concerned, i have been riding on them seized for over three years now, just need a good set of tires for winter and i am good,

And midnight_rider- me and murphy never got along, ever.

seeing that IC through that bumper makes me miss my car so much

I did the same thing on Monday--in anticipation of it raining yesterday. I'm fairly sure that my ACR hadn't been waxed for about 2 years (only put 10,000 miles on it in that time) but at least hibernated in a garage through the last two winters. Nothing like a good wash and wax to bring out the splits, cracks, and gunk in the bumper cover. Pretty sure that's just a total loss.
It has the cleanest/driest/shiniest undercarriage I've ever seen, but unfortunately, I need a DD, not a summer queen.
