Have to say nice finish on those dark cars, but drive a non silver car 1000 in winter on uk roads and a silver car, the silver will look the cleaner of the two.

Got to be silver, no depth of colour so no reflections to miss out on.

Agree with silver, however the end result is that whether it is clean or dirty, it never looks stunning.

I'd happily take a "difficult" colour for the appearance when it looks great, even if 90% of the time road grime means it doesn't look its best.

Silve hides the dirt, not because of how great it manages to remain looking when dirty, rather how indifferent it looks when it is clean!

[pedant]

Best colour to keep a car clean is Black, dark colours in general or White

[/pedant]

Best colour if you don't want to have to keep a car clean is Silver/Grey or maybe lighter metalic blues greens etc

Black carpet to go with our two black cars.

I must say that the back disco shows up dirt very easily. But it looks better with the mud on than off!

When that thing does get scratches, swirl marks and all other manner of imperfections one picks up does it show up badly on the lambo?
