Ha, ha! You hit that one right on. Whenever i finish washing it I become so
paranoid. Even though the M2 is beautiful, dirty or clean, I prefer to have
it looking its best. And that can be a problem with darker colors as you
mentioned. Just a slight drizzle at times has been known to leave those
awful spots over the hood and trunk. But when it's clean, it's clean and I
can see everyone staring at it as I drive down the road. I even at one point
thought about keeping count of the number of compliments I was getting. Lost
count somewhere along the way, too many. ;o) I guess the important thing, is
to pick the color based on preference and not neccessarily upkeep. But that
depends, I really don't mind spending the extra time keeping it clean... but
others might.
