Default You guys all have a lot more patience and skill than me. I'm not worrrrrthy!!
Besides. Out here in San Diego, my car goes from sparkling to mucky in 48 hours. Hardly worth the effort.

screw cleaning wheels, keeping wheels clean is a lost cause

Default but, but... the reflection comes at a price...
Lots of efforts to maintain it like that. Not to mention, dark colours basically magnify the dust and dirt on the body.
