monaco isn't that hard to keep clean

it works a lot like black I find...
it takes a while for the dirty to look REALLY bad...

Lassaxi · 05-25-2008, 08:19 AM

I wash it.

Taittinger · 05-25-2008, 08:33 AM

Especially bad now with the pollen. I just get it washed when it looks too green.

Yes I just got my sapphire black recently, and I am planning on washing it, and putting a couple of coats of wax on it. I am going to try out just off the shelf products from Pep Boys.

jgalaxy · 05-25-2008, 12:46 PM

Wax it once a month and hand wash when the filth builds up.

Greez · 05-25-2008, 02:28 PM

wash wax and shine

kwakr738 · 05-25-2008, 06:22 PM

Yeh just washed and waxed the hell out of the sapphire black, and 1 hr driving I can see pollen on the hood. I am gonna just pick up some quick detail and a duster.

Regular waxing and the use of California Car Duster help to keep dry dust off the car.

Texas Jim · 05-26-2008, 01:08 AM

Don't drive it.

J/K

I've had mine a little over a week. I washed the next morning after I picked it up only because the window tinters got it dirty. After 1 week it still looked great. A liittle dusty after 3-4 days, but get a California duster and it'll do the trick mid-week.

This time of year it always seems to be in need of a wash.

First , have it waxed, then hand wash it weekly if you can, when ever it rains, rush home and put it in the garage.

Zaino products (Oct. 05) and use the California duster.
