Does driving more aggressively make your car dirtier?

i think so... just think going through gravel roads and wet sandy conditions at a snails pace ? a lot less road grime build.. but if you blast through, and you survive, chances are there will be a lot more build up



more so for the under carriage detailing

that's all I could think of as well as if you like to drive aggressively as in tailgating maybe you'll be lucky enough to get some rock chips
 
IMO, all of the above is true. There are times when I drive aggressively, on the right roads at the right time, because I enjoy doing it.



However, I try to exercise caution at the right time, to make my detailing easier. While the street outside my apartment was dirt/mud/gravel due to construction, I drove through at a snail's pace, though many other drivers blasted through.



Also, I keep a distance from the driver in front of me, to avoid as many rock chips as possible.
 
no- your probably not driving fast enough. The faster you drive the more wind resistance removes pollen and dust. You should be hitting triple didgit speeds on a regular basis to have a sparkling car. :D
 
I know the environment is a little different, but if you've ever seen a car that's spent a day at the track in a HPDE or actual race, you'd see just how dirty those cars get. VERY dirty, though with things you won't see driving on the road - like chunks of rubber stuck in wheel wells and bounced off the hood and windshield, leaving streaks of tire rubber all over the place.



Not to mention running that hard, you often end up spitting a lot more carbon and other crap out the exhaust, so yeah... drive hard, wash hard. :D
