Just leave it out front of your place with the keys and title... I'll clean it for you and get it back to you in say 3 or 4 years.

Of course, you'll be changing your login name if/when you get a '13

As for keeping it clean...................try black. It's a full time job! Still, at least it's a labour of love.

Want an easy life? Buy silver!

Can't wait to get my DIB. My current Mazda I just take through the auto wash with my monthly pass but don't think I want the Stang going through.

I feel you on the keeping it clean thing. Almost makes me regret getting this color... but then I step outside, and see it relecting the sunlight off in that awesome shade of blue and it brings a huge smile to my face.

I have a Kona GT and a quad-bypass. So no laborous cleaning for me anymore.
Recommend couple of coats of a good sealant like Blackfire Wet Diamond and find a good touchless car wash.
Works for me.

Kona is just as bad. I park in a Parking garage at work. Not sure if it's concrete dust or what .. but when I leave at the end of th day it sometimes looks like it snowed on my car .... ... I did purchase a California Duster and use it often.

All colors dirty the same - Kona looks dirty about two days after a wash & wax.

Yeah...I told myself I would never get another black car so what the hell did I do...got a black stang...I cringe everytime I see one of those tiny little scratches on it....I so wish I would have gotten silver...really hides the dust and scratches.....black looks great when clean but that lasts about 10 minutes....

Look for a good anti-static or polymer spray detailer.

I use Meguires Ultimate Quick Detailer. Usually the car only looks slightly dusty at just the right angle after about 2 days, and I normally go a week or so between applications. It only takes about 15 minutes to wipe down the whole car.

That's my daily driver Kona. It hadn't been washed in 2 weeks when I took that pic.
