Love the color. I use mine as a daily driver and would not have time to wash it all the time. Do any of you guys use car washes? How about if you have a cab? Silver hides the dirt so well which is why I stay away from blue black (the worst). How does seal grey hold up dirt wise?

Seal grey actually holds up to dirt well.
My previous car was white, and I think that nothing is as good as white at looking OK when dirty, except maybe silver.
I recently had mine 3-step paint corrected and ceramic coated.
Now I can just spray water on it with a garden hose and most of the dirt disappears.
I also have a foam cannon, but haven't used it yet, but I'm pretty sure it will be a 20 minute wash job.

I've tried a lot of different car wash soaps, I like griot the best. That leaves a nice shine and gets all the dirt off.

Reason I ask is I'm going to try and clean it up myself.

I do it myself, but cars paint was in great shape before I bought it. If it wasn’t I would have taken it for a prof paint correction.
