get a black and keep it clean. wash it properly and avoid them. Nothing looks better than a detailed black car.

my tungsten grey has a bunch of swirls from being mistreated as a rental car. when the suns shining bright it looks like a bunch of scratches.

When the sun shines on it, or you get close to it, any color will show swirls horribly.

My white Mustang is pretty decent for hiding swirls if it's in the shade or from a distance, and it's the same with any light colors. Silver, probably the light blue, etc.

But the best way to handle it is to just go with whatever color you like, and and wash it properly and detail it to keep the swirls off. Good excuse to spend a bit of quality time with your pony anyway.

1+ raubt! But silver and white hide swirls better than any other color IMHO. I have swirls on my DD and it is silver and I have to look at different angles in sunlight to see them and I have to be very close.

Ihave swirls on my black and they're hard to notice. There r certain angles where the swirl will be noticed.

Just don't make circular motions when you are drying... I spray the car with detail spray while still wet and wipe it down with a microfiber towel using back and forth movements. I then go over it again quickly with a new microfiber towel to buff the detail spray residue. Doesn't take long.. and you don't put a lot of pressure on the rag so it's not hard to do.
I still have little scratches.. but they all go down the length of the car.. so you can only see them in the right light.
