This was the situation as of January 3, 2005 and the power levels of Spirit were dropping because of the same layer of dust on the solar panels

Before and After a Cleaning Event on Spirit March 03, 2005

These two images from 10 days apart show that dust was removed from the panoramic camera's calibration target on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. Spirit's panoramic camera took the picture on the left on the rover's 416th martian day, or sol, (March 5, 2005) and took the picture on the right on sol 426 (March 15, 2005). During the time in-between, other evidence of dust-lifting winds were a jump in power output by Spirit's solar arrays on sol 420 from removal of some accumulated dust, and sighting of two dust devils in sol 421 images from Spirit.

NASA would have you believe that Dust Devils are responsible for this amazing feat of cleaning. These are just a few random selected SOLs from Spirit Rover.... When time allows I will search the archives extensively of both Rovers and get a more acuurate time line of clean and dirty images... but the above sellection clearly shows something is not right with the 'oficial' version...

To see more evidence of 'selective cleaning' read now Ted Twietmeyer's report...
