Amazing how much dirt get’s kicked up by the guys ahead when you’re trying to nose by.
Seen here battling a Volvo 700 and Opel Manta off the line, trying to keep up with Peugeot and Corolla, both sharply tailed by my dad in another Escort(With bent steering arm from collision with the volvo in an earliere race).

That’s where the likes of Gtechniq come in.

Sometimes we do apply some cheap nano coating pre-race, but i always forget if it makes much difference or not :P Coating the entire car in a generous amount of wax might also be useful to prevent excessive mud-stick i’d assume.

It depends how serious you are. There’s a Formula One team that use Gtechniq C0, which stops hot tar from sticking to the car body, increasing drag. A Datsun Z car used Gtechniq when they did the Road To Mandalay rally. Subaru rally team use coatings to keep their cars clean.
The best really is a glass coating to repel dirt and liquid from the windscreen, the longer you can’t see through the glass in front, the more likely you are to hit something.
So apply some Gtechniq G5 to the windscreen if you don’t want to go full coating (Gtechniq G1).
Your in Germany aren't you? We'll have to see about getting you fixed up with something.

Denmark, north of the germans. Have a bottle of Liqui-moly fix-klar and some other off-brand stuff around to try on the windshield(and also get the street car coated), and a few old bottles of wax-shampoo to use up before i trying something new :D
