Black Paint
I recently purchased a Pearl Black Suzuki Ignis Sport (very underated hot hatch bargain)
It is the first black car i have owned and it is an absolute bugger to keep remotely clean (to the extent that i doubt that i would buy another black car!) I bought my Silver SV in 02 and was very close to getting it in black (as i still think they look great in that colour) but was put off with horror stories about keeping them clean. Bearing in mind the new black frames, do you owners of Black SVs have difficulty keeping your bikes clean?, as my silver SV is no problem at all, but the black car is a pain!

Well it's not an SV, but it is a black Suzuki..... And I have no problems keeping it clean (except when I'm riding it
 ) . |

I don't find keeping my bike clean that much of a pain, if anything it hides the dirt better
 Mine is Candy Saturn Black, which is metallic, so I can see what's shining and what's in need of a rub

Yes, very nice. But im not convinced Jelster does not have to run out and clean it every fifteen minutes to keep it looking that shiny!

Well OK, that was after a weekly cleaning session, but I spend an hour on it tops. I do however rinse it down after riding in the wet or on salt laden roads, give a very quick wipe over and put it away in the garage.
