I hate the fact that it's only ever clean for 24 hours at a time, but I love the colour so much that I'm prepared to put up with the heartache and the extra high maintenance (for example it's always washed/waxed by hand).

Incidentally, I often wash my car in the rain, firstly because the rain has already softened the dirt by the time I start and secondly because the rain rinses the car far better than I can. My neighbours think I'm mad, but you can wash your car in less than half the normal time if it's raining.

Black is the mutt's nutts, but white is alright.
