With white, the threshold of visual acceptability is higher, since you have no real other good-looking black surface to compare against. Additionally, not only do you need to keep the car clean to look good, but you also need to have proper washing, drying, and detailing technique to maintain paint quality and minimize swirls and marring since these are very visible on black. I am also finding that rock chips are much less apparent on white than it is on black.

I think this is definitely my biggest problem. Black is just so resistible when its cleaned properly, but its difficult to keep it that after a few short days.
