Yes, very. Dust shows immediately after waxing, a little rain spots it, and swirl marks are the biggest PITA. I use the Menzerna line of products from www.properautocare.com to keep it clean.

But, when its clean, it looks WICKED

What he said....sometimes it's a major PITA to keep clean, but when you look at the finished product after a wholesale detailing, it's well worth the effort.

If you're considering a Black Z, I'd highly reccomend puchasing a California Duster...it's perfect for cleaning off all the light dust and dirt that accumulates from day to day (especially during pollen season).

Oh yeah, you have to wipe it down everyday. I recommend a Cali Duster.! But nothing looks nicer than a clean SB!

+2^. Get a Ca duster and lay in a good supply of microfiber towels. Periodically I use menzerna final polish w/ a porter cable polisher (white or black pad) and finish w/ meguire's nxt paste wax. Daily dusting and spray detailing (meguire's nxt or menzerna acrylic) help to keep my SB ZR looking shiny and, I think, better than new.
It is a MAJOR committment of time and a minor committment in $ for products. But, it's like the little girl w/ the curl--when she's good, she's very,very good, but when she's bad, she's awful.

How does it compare to the Daytona Blue as far as getting dirty, showing dirt, etc?
