Having only done a little over 2,000 miles in my plus 4 I am still suprised at the crud that attaches to my car particularly over the front and rear wings. The last 14 years in red and green Morgan 4/4s were nothing to comment on but even after a mere 60 miles today the car is covered in muck.
I am prepared to admit that my eyesight isn't what it was but is the build up of dirt due to the lighter colour of my Ivory car or has there been some change to the shape of the car that attracts dirt more than used to be the case?

We should have chosen crud coloured cars Andrew -- then it wouldn't have shown.

My lindigo blue winged & porsch silver bodies two tone +4 was easy compared to my all Indigo Roadster.
I think the light colour helped

I find my Ivory 4/4 just easy: it just turns a bit darker when dirty. Compared to my black BMW 5-series: that shows the dirt just after one drive, despite Protech treatment!
