Blue Elise Owners

For those with a Blue Elise, any of the three shades...

I've ALWAYS owned black vehicles (I'm on my 6th right now), but I'm thinking of a change, mainly because I'm tired of the upkeep. Nightfall is absolutely beautiful, but is it as high-maintenence as black? What about magnetic? I'm sure that Laser is very easy to keep clean, but I don't know if I'm brave enough to go with it (and I don't know if it will be available). Thanks, max.

Magnetic isn't too bad. I can tell it's gotten dusty when viewing from certain angles, but it still looks great.

I agree with the above comment. Dust is a big thing. Actually the biggest problems are A) finger prints from people looking at the car when you're in a store and B) the wheels which get dirty very quickly. I bought a teflon spray cleaner for the wheels which seems to be doing a great job keeping them clean.
