Xterra Kid,

I have the newer version Nissan brush guard. It stays clean with a normal hand wash and does not needs extra protection sprayed, wiped or brushed on.

I really like my brush guard. I go wheeling every so often to places where I need to remove it so I reserve some patience to take it off and on, 20 min. each time so it's ok.

One thing though, many aftermarket guards, (many are not aluminum) after about a year in the dry desert climate of Utah, are rusting like hell. I'd like to see one after being in the open in a rainy climate for that long.
