I doesn't matter how clean you keep the frame sparky. It's pretty obvious what the conditions you rode in were. The tires picked up dirt which acted as an abrasive resulting in the damage shown. Keeping the fram clean does bubkus when the tires are dirty while in motion. This would have happened eventually anyway even if you rode in a sterile environment the grit expidited the matter. I seriously hope that you aren't trying to get a new frame under warranty.
