Did you really see a difference? I have the same colour and whatever i do or use i can't see a change the colour looks the same.
I love the colour but for me i don't know if i could justify the cost for the above reasons.
Please tell me im wrong, and i love your car ive been keeping my eye on one of these for a while now and i had bookmaked this one!
Great car and cracking colour!! biggrin

i can see a significant difference....but the important aspect of detailing is the ease of washing and keeping the bodywork looking like new all the time....once detailed i work to keep it in the same condition which is a hundred times better than the factory finish....water beading is fantastic . all the carbon fibre has been treated to prevent discolouring , front grill has had some kind of protection on it to prevent water staining , as have the wheels...so for the 300 it cost me....will save hours of work over the next yr or so with cleaning etc...also the waxes i use will help in the winter with the salt / dirt etc...next yr will just have a spruce up that costs around the hundred mark....anyway...i do like a clean car..!!!

Now im not just saying this (honestly) having your car detailed will make a difference to any colour. With lightning silver, you would get a sharper finish and one of the main differences with having the car detailed, it will be easier and quicker to wash. Plus dirt doesn't stick to it as easily.

You may as well just have a dull grey one for the amount of times you can probably see the green wink

Oh, is Yeti's car green? Whenever we hear a car is green it triggers a lengthy debate about which one. Sounds like Yeti's is 'Occasionally Green' wink
