Well, after looking @ all the Shiney new Element pictures, I finally decided to clean up my Element. Wheels and tires are new too! This is the cleanest it has been in about 2 years.
Here is the results............

What do you use on your tires that doesn't affect the panels?

Also can I see a closer picture of your grill? I'm trying to decide which cloud rider I want to purchase.

Frank,
I used the Tire Foaming spray on both the tires and the panels! - On the panels, I sprayed it on a terry cloth first to try and keep it off of the paint

Here is a picture of the grill I have from Cloud Rider - they have different designs available now.

Thank you!

That is the one I was very interested in and I think I will be choosing!

One last question, any particular brand for foaming spray or have all of them worked well?

FrankSpin - I used Black Magic, but think any of them should work and that a GEL would actually work better

Thanks to all that have liked the pictures, like I said, this is as clean as mine has been in 2 years............It does feel like it drives better clean!

Spiffy! Love the color... I haven't seen any SOPs around here.

I'm curious, since I've only seen them in pictures.... they come across as really red. It's a nice red, but most folks seem proud of their "B.O.B.'s", so I'm wondering if they appear more orange in person.

I like the orange look, but all the pics online don't scream orange to me.

I think I'd need to see a SOP/TM/RR/TRP side-by-side comparison to appreciate the difference

From the beginning.If you see a EX without a sunroof, its a 2WD. At least until the 09 are out.
