qkslvr: How hard is it to keep the car clean?
I finally got the Barolo Red (hope to pick up next week unles the dealer screws up up or plays games). I was wondering if it attracts a lot of dirt and that you need to wash it up more often than some of the lighter colors.
Thanks, and I would appreciate additional pics of your car if you have any!!

As it is a darker color, it will show dirt more than the lighter shades. But I've been impressed overall with the paint and polish quality. I've been able to keep it fairly clean most of the time after rainstorms by using quick detailer spray and a water blade ( it beads quite well). I do keep it garaged, so it really doesn't get dusty often. And it doesn't show swirl marks like a black color normally will. The dirtiest spots tend to be behind the wheel wells ( might have to invest in mud guards), and the wheels themselves.
Congrats on your purchase, I still think it is the smoothest riding vehicle I've experienced in a long time.
