Also Heather, once you get it clean it's easier to keep it that way.
Everytime I wash I just wipe everything down under the hood with a
damp towel. I also use armor-all on the rubber and plastic things.
For me it doesn't seem to attract dirt/dust any more or less, but it
is much much easier to keep clean, the dirt doesn't stick, just wipes
right off.
