Am having to get used to this car washing lark again. For the last 8 years I owned a benotti grey Defender which really didn't show the dirt unless I got it covered in mud and probably got washed less than once a year. I've had the FL2 for a little over a month a had to wash it twice already and it's in need of another one again - I love the Santorini black, but it does need to be kept clean.

I've owned a couple of black cars in the past and had avoided black ones since because of the effort of keeping them clean. But when I looking for the FL2 I saw this one and it just looked so smart. Hopefully getting the black one won't be something I come to regret... |

I wash mine once a week when home without fail. Started using snow foam recently, and polish the the car then use auto glym high definition wax it lasts for ages. I will every few months clay bar the car and wheels and at the same time will use the iron remover, however I find that the best way to remove tar spots is with a specialist tar remover solvent type stuff. Love the car when it's gleaming. Here is a wee pic using the snow foam toady and after. All very boaring I know but I love it
