Same problem on my BOP, I use one of those car dusters everyday when I get home so it looks clean when I drive it in the morning. Takes about 5 minutes.

My BSP is the same way. All I can say is keep it waxed good, and use a california car duster, it will help. But the rain is what kills me.

i have BOP too...and yes it's tedious work to keep it clean. But it has its rewards ...cuz i love dark color cars...i think it looks classy.
as for suggestions in keeping it clean..or belating the oncoming dirt try these.
1) Keep car in garage or get a car cover...u'll be surprised how much dust u keep away
2) wash car weekly if possible.
3) wax car atleast once every 2 months.
4) keep a Meguiar's Spray Wax on hand at all times..and wipe down any bird crap, dusts, and other residue when u can.
5) use a Duster...but make sure it's clean cuz it can make the clear coat look messier when dirty ones.

i have the same prob with my black cherry. heres my weekly regimend
use a car duster fo sho....
wash once a week only if necessary. sometimes, i just dust mine off, and throw a coat of wax on it, and wipe down the rims, and voila! clean again!
U can use the spray detailer, but its gunna start leavin swirl marks from the towel.
use meguires gold class, its the best for dark colors, and it hides all the scratches and swirlies. I tried the TECH WAX this weekend, and its nice, but not like the gold class.
use microfiber cloths to polish and wax...this will reduce the swirlies....and its good for windows too.
thats bout it...good luck!
and if all else fails.......get a white or silver one :wink:

My BSP xB gets dirty after the rain, but I find it easy to wash, Just hose it down, then wipe and dry with a towl. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

naw i hate white. my old car was white and couldnt stand it. thanx 4 the replies though. I'm probably gonna wax it, I think that may help, and buy a cover for it too.

My BOP is the same way. I washed it less then a week after I got it and it was dirty again the next day. It's been dirty for 2 weeks now and someone had to write wash me on the back windsheild before I wiped it down. I only clean it if I go out on the weekends, otherwise I just keep it dirty.
