Yeah dark cars are a ***** to keep clean
Wash mine once a week, inside and out, usually keeps it lookin tip top.
I use Auto Glym Valet pack. Seriously, its the BOMB.
I used to use the Supaguard kit, but damn AutoGlym just makes your paint look like glass its sweet and not really that expensive.

Actually, I think the splitters are a pretty neat idea. However, move it back so it aligns with the wheel well or custom fab a piece to extend it backwards.
