    Got this thing cleaned finally. I just use a regular shammy cloth. No streaks. The rim cleaner i used actually wound up being greasier than just wiping them down with a regular rag. So, I had to wipe twice. ha;)

    Any tips or tricks from you guys?
    The magnetic grey color for the 09 is tough to keep clean. As is any other dark color.:rolleyes:

    Not yet,
    SHARP. I don't have a garage so I have a half inch of pollen on mine every morning. Those chrome door handles look good. I can't decide if I want to do black or chrome accesories on mine? I have the same color.
