Color Opinions
Looking for opinions as to what is the easiest color to keep clean.
IE,..black in my opinion dirties quickly and also seems to spider web and its hard to keep a glossy finish. I'm picking up a new Civic shortly and what to go with the most trouble free finish. |

Mine's white, doesn't show swirls, reflects the heat, looks sharp when clean. Also, it has a light tone interior, whereas the silver (Accords) have a black interior. No thanks on black. I just wish the white had that metallic luster I see on some other cars. |

Honda calls their colors a "pearl" finish, but it is really just metallic flakes, unlike mica used in upscale cars. Desert Mist hides dirt like your mother-in-law is coming over. When I think of a rental car, I think of red, by the way. |
