Granted a black car is the hardest to keep SWIRL FREE but swirl free doesn't mean 'hardest to keep clean'... These guys with black cars should try to live with white for a week then they'll know which color is the 'hardest to keep clean'
I have to disagree. The white (at least a pearl white) from a short distance can look clean for up to a week, but my black onyx 202 cars can look dusty and grimey the very next day without even driving it anywhere. Then the more you wash it, the more the paint gets scratched/swirled and it stands out like crazy. Every blemish stands out. A black car is incredibly hard to keep clean, and keep looking clean. I've gone back to white just recently after spending a few years on "the dark side". While white isn't the easiest to keep looking clean, it's way easier than black by a long shot.

Starfire Pearl Color. I have all lights interior changed to LED Bright White, F-Sport Intake, Upgraded Brakes Rotors, 6000K D4S Bulb upgrade, 6000K HID Fog Lights, F-Sport Exhaust on the way, Carbon Fiber Engine Covers on the way, F-Sport Lowering Springs on the way, Jet Performance Module on the way. I like the factory Wheels. I have limo tint all around & real light tint on windshield.

I'm painting the calipers, but not sure what color to go with, I have blue, Black, & Silver. What would you all do?
