Naw, not hard at all, Only around 10 hours a month detailing, If you only ride on weekends... when it's sunny....for just a couple of hours.

All black - all the time.

Just use common sense, micro fiber, dry with air blower.

YES they are!
I own a Brillant Silver Pearl SG, my buddy has a black one and it looks bad everytime he stops lol. It takes much more effort on his part to get it to look good and has just about given up on it, his story... I bought it to ride it

I have a black bike and a black cherry pearl bike. Honestly never occurred to me that keeping the black bike looking good is any more work.
