...and a different view...

Having now lived with the naked beast, it is getting easier. I think some of us (including me) thought that leaving it bare and simply Windexing it now and then would be all that we would need to do. As Turk says, you do end up with a residue after awhile.

I've found that BNLs need washing just like painted cars...with a finishing of Windex as you do a final drying. I have had few problems with the milky residue once I realized it needs washing like other cars. Still easier than a painted car, and still very distinctive compared to painted cars. Best part--despite alot of bugs and a few cones...I have no worries about scratches or pitting. A few swipes with the Scotchbrite and she's just like new.

I happen to like the bare look. I may paint it in the future, but for now I enjoy it naked.

Obviously, it's going to be easier to resell naked. Blue or red with no stripes would be the next best, IMHO.
