I agree with this approach, especially if it is someone who you might run into later at work, the neighborhood, etc. You can be sure none of those people own a nice car, or take care of their car, and trying to educate them will fail. If they want to think you are overly neurotic about your car, no harm done.

I had a colleague lean into the p-side window with her purse in front of her. I yelled at her to get her effing purse off my door. It was a knee jerk reaction. I apologized immediately, but really bad about being overly harsh.
