I'm literally hand washing my weekly (between snow storms).

My BOP is a PITA with dust and dirt, but I get compliments
all the time from people at work, how my box is the cleanest
car in the whole lot!

Dig this thread:

I went out for a drive after I dryed off the box, and forgot to take finished photos,
I'm hoping to get some of those done today, since we are doing a drive with the local
Scion Evolution today.

My Camo xB gets dirty a lot but it seems to say clean longer with a good coat of wax.
I've had good luck with Meguiars.
Here's thier tips and tricks...

Man, if I don't wash my cammo XB every other day, the dirt just shines through. It has been raining the past few days in So Cal so washing not required lately, but man, it sure does collect dirt.. especially on the read bump and rear window.

I was thinking of getting darker colors, but dark xBs looking really dirty help make my decision easy for a lighter color. I don't have to wash as often it seems with a lighter color.
