I wash often, that's the only way for me to keep it clean.

hahaha... same here... no shortcuts... for me avoid rains also help..

huh??? white is easy to keep clean.. the car can have road dust on it and not appear to until you dust or wash it... A friend of mine owns a black sti and parks it next to mine almost everyday and mine always appears to be a lot cleaner although its not.
but if you dont want to put very much effort into cleaning it get ZAINO!!
works wonders!! i put it on like 6 months ago and water beads up on the car the exact same as it did the day i put it on.. also, washing the car is extremely easy now, dirt just sprays off

yeah just wash it as needed and use sum polish and wax and ur sti is ready to roll, if you have any question contact, Peleg or Darksti for sum detailing question, im sure they wouldnt mind helping you out

Wash it once a week, don't drive through puddles or rain in general. Having a commuter car helps...too bad the commuter car is white too.

yeah, but once it's clean... mmmmm white goodness. the only thing i hate about it is when those yellow pieces of bird crap fall on it. when i try to remove it, it always leaves a mark in the paint, ugh.

I almost wish i got a silver one instead of black. Used to have a silver benz. That thing never looked dirty. Now the black sti gets dusty just from 2 days of sitting in the garage.
