That is one of the reason why I did not get black. I love black especially when the car is new. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of maintenance and when it gets old, it shows a lot of dings & dents. To answer your question, I clean my car every 2 weeks and I am picky... Regarding the wheels, Michellin came out a dust repellent. All you have to do just spray on after you washed the wheel and it will take little longer to get the wheel dirty.

Thanks,

Usually at least once a week - I use a California duster everyday to keep up the shine....

every night
I live in the mountains so mother nature comes along and gives my car a nice wash just about every night.
I know, everyone is thinking "then put the car in the garage"
Sorry, the wiffey has her two cars in there. "meow"

Once a week, subcontract a local car wash shop to take care of my babies.

If you dry your car properly there won't be any in the first place.
