Part of the appeal of this finish is that it hides dirt really well. It definitely attracts dirt a little more than polished gloss paint, but nothing too crazy. Mudguards help a lot, obvs. Another appealing aspect is that it won't show scratches or marring from repeated scrubbing - not that I used scouring pads or shitty brushes on my bikes. I learned a while ago that natural-bristle (eg tampico) brushes are the best investment you can make for cleaning bikes. Not only do they lift grease (rather than just push it around a surface like nylon bristles do) but they can be cleaned as easily as human hair. Makes bike cleaning really satisfying.

How hard is the cleaning of this finish? I imagine it to be an absolutely horrific...
