Finally I've admitted to myself that I can't keep mine looking spotless forever. It's going to get used, a lot! I'll do my best to keep it reasonably clean, but it's going to pick up battle scars - stone chips, the odd luggage scrape (although I do my best to protect it from this) etc. Actually, I don't think I could ever keep any bike that I wanted in mint condition. What the foc would I want a bike for if I couldn't/daren't ride it?! I'll leave that to museums.
