What happens when your wife takes your E63 to Canada for 2 weeks?

You gotta be kidding me. Only on this forum will you see someone flipping out that their family car got salt on it, in the Winter, in Canada.
Edit: To answer your question, my car has been much much dirtier. In fact, I washed it on Friday for the first time in 2.5 months. It still looks and drives just like it always has.

Also, since she is my wife, she knows that I am O.C.D. (in reality, NOT just in figure of speech) and having the car come back looking like a dump site inside and out just ticks me off because, among other things, it shows an utter lack of respect for my vehicle.

Having a dirty car in winter is life mate, Canadian roads and a black car are never going to be a good mix. My cars use to look like that after 20 minutes on the highway after washing them, just wash it again...
However, that being said - I lose it when food wrappers (or anything else) are left inside the car, that grinds me to no end. You can't control what gets on the outside but you sure as hell can on the inside. My wife did that once and once only.

Umm, yes, absolutely. As I mentioned just a few food wrappers would and has been enough for me to get upset. Acres of garbage left inside the car is unacceptable on all levels, a dirty exterior in winter is sign that the car Gods think you should have bought it in white...

I love white MB's, very clean looking. Truth be told though, it really is hard to get a better looking E63 in any other color than black, it's just plain mean/classy/sexy looking. The new E550 coupe in black is also quite stunning but if I trade up to one this year I'll get one in white, good color for Dubai.

So far, here is the first stage of clean-up on the E63. I just took these pictures an hour or so ago. She is getting closer to the way I like. I just need a few days of no distractions to get it back to 100%.

With the E63 the mean look of it in black is the first thing I noticed, and also was what my buddy who went with me to look at it noticed when I test drove it initially. Universal praise for the fact that it looks evil in all black is what has me now caving in and trying to source nice quality dark wheels, carbon fiber front and rear splitters, a black grille, and some other items of overall stealth.

I have 6 cars. The reason she drove the E63 is that I wanted to make sure she and our 18 month old daughter were as safe as humanly possible in case they got into an accident on the long drive. The E63 is like a bank vault. I suggested to her that maybe getting rid of her Evo IX and getting her own E55 or E63 would be the solution. That did not go well.

Here is what she can look like with my wheels dont mind the front calipers in the rear it was just a quick photoshop. Also the front wheels are on the rear to so your not seeing the bigger lips in the rear however this gives you a better prospective. Enjoy

2009 C63
very OT but I just wanted to add, one time I went on a road trip in my C63 (it was fairly new) and took it to the dealer right after because I used to take advantage of the free weekly car washes.. It looked about how yours did in the OP. The guy walked up to tell me that the car wash section/dept was closed but when he saw my car so filthy he reopened it, lol.
