easiest color to keep looking clean? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

fatoni · 09-25-2013, 06:10 PM

im kinda torn between the white or the dark grey. between those two (and if you have an opinion on any of the other colors) what do you think is the easiest to keep looking nice? im pretty torn between those colors but i think a clean car is probably going to be more appreciated than a dirty looking car in the color of my choosing.

sorry if this is a repost.

Grey is also the easiest to be kept in good look. Black is terrible. and White is not bad.

I've owned most colors (20+ cars) and white is definitely the easiest. Silver second. Worst is black!

clean or looking clean? I have black and it always looks clean but it does get dirty easily

Lighter the better, definitely white. I got the white brz and when I finally wash it and see the dirt lines it's like " wow, so It was dirty ". No joke!

Coming from a black car before..

silver looks cleaner than white. when my girlfriend had her white frs she would always be jealous of how clean my frs looked.

Silver will hide dust as will Grey to some extent. Go black, you'll never go back. It's a pain, shows every little line in the clearcoat, but it's the best looking IMHO. It also hides chipped bumpers.

i agree about how nice black looks when its nice but im pretty honest with myself, and myself is lazy as hell when it comes to cleaning cars. in the ten or so years ive been driving i have probably washed a car less than ten times

That's OK as long as you bathe occasionally. And don't forget to wash your 'taint! LOL

Silver ignition is easy to keep clean... I dont notice dirt even after a month of neglecting it...

My first car was gray. Barely ever washed it and never did a full detail always looked clean. Now I drive a silver car and that is easy to clean as well. My black car was horrible and white wasn't much better. Pearl white is a bit different tho.

White looks nice and is easy to take care off.
