For example, this past week it became sluggish after two weeks of not washing it. Even in sports mode when I put my foot on the gas, the car just didn't just fly as it usually does. So, I washed the car yesterday, but I didn't have time to clean the brake dust off of the wheels. I noticed that it ended up remaining slow and sluggish.

Anyone else experience this?
Clean cars always drive better.


P.S (it's all in your head but it feels that way)
