Default sunscreen

Before I go out for a drive, my girlfriend nags me to always put on sunscreen or i'll get skin cancer - and she's right. But I hate sunscreen! It's greasy, makes me feel dirty, and smells bad!

So do you guys have a favorite sunscreen? is it possible to find one that doesn't feel disgusting? Finally, what SPF do you use?

I use No-Ad. It doesn't feel too icky, comes in a "sports" version, and one bottle will last you half a decade. I always carry a bottle under the seat.
From what I've read SPFs over 30 are for especially fair-skinned individuals:

I didn't put anything on this weekend and drove for 5 hours in one direction, and 3 1/2 in the opposite direction (top down, of course). Now my entire face is peeling and gross.

Anyway, I just like to use Hawiian Tropic or Coppertone SPF 15 or SPF 8. I use the Coppertone Sport SPF 15 on my face sometimes, only becuase it doesn't run when one sweats.

i use anything that will make my slippery enough for my opponents to not be able to grab me easily in the water.

right now, i use coppertone sport, SPF 30. ultra sweatproof, water proof. great for water polo and swimming!

I like the way Ocean Potion and Australian Gold smell. Ocean Potion also has that stuff that protects from UVA AND UVB rays.
