Yeah, but.... the best/easiest way to get rid of the rust is to drive it hard for a few minutes and during that time the car would probably get dirty somewhere else lol. At least I assume that is the reasoning...

Good point, plus the owner might not want him to drive the car other than during cleaning. (especially driving an m3 hard lol)
