I'm a nude fan as well.

The 303 sun block is not too hard either. I only put it on when I clean the bike and then the bike looks new again. Think about how often you clean your bike. If you clean it once a year, nude is not for you. If you clean it 4-5 times a year, then concider nude.

Not only is nude easier to clean, the crud comes right off, but it looks better once you clean it than paint, since you clean the scratches as well, and they are still there after you clean it. No scratches with nude, just carbon.

Once I wipe the bike down with ammonia and water, I apply 303 like a wax, or just another wipe down, and then, volia, new bike.

You now are starting to see a lot of matte finishes on carbon bikes. Matte is not the same as nude. I think nude looks better, bolder, more intense. As always, paint is a personal preference, but why cover up the carbon, it's so cool.
