How are you at keeping your vans clean? Avalon (although it looks a bit last year) and Mica look nice when clean and polished, but the current Ford paints seem to dull quite quickly if not washed with care. If you don't want to be washing it every week then the silver maybe a better bet?

How often do you wash your van?
