Like you said, you have spent years taking care of it to be pristine, and now this. Not nearly as bad of an experience, but just Wednesday here it got warm enough to clean up the car well for the first time in months. So I spent several hours on it and was driving along and a stupid driver in front of me was pissing me off (going 10 under in left lane) so I was 'a little' close on his bumper. I am not sure if he was this big of an ******* and noticed my car was extra clean or it was a coincidence and that is how truly unaware he was, but he sprayed windshield wiper fluid for about 30 seconds, covering my spotless black beauty in a cloud of glass cleaner, entire car was spotted and I was PISSED. I feel your pain, people just do not pay attention.....

I've seen people do that trick a few times. They think it is a cute and
certain way to get someone to back off when they think the following
car is too lose. Me, I just usually light up my brake lights. I don't step
down or slow down, just light them up. Most folks usually drop back to
a safe following distance at that point. Other times, I've been known to
start driving like I'm drunk. That usually does the trick as well

Sorry to hear about the spotting. I know I don't like it at all when I've
just washed and waxed the SRT, only to have some dipstick find the
only puddle of water for miles to throw a spray up from. Argggh! But,
what are you gonna do? Can't shoot them, though there are times...
