go with a dark silver thats what mine is and it looks great when cleaned and will stay that way for a bit after a little dirt build up it starts to show but can still look good and it hides scratches

 

Silver!

 

Tungsten Grey shows little to no dust. If I squat down and peruse the hood or top, I can see a fine layer - but that is what the California Duster is for, and the quick detailer. I had no intention of getting this color on my '07, but I am very happy I did. I don't see other Tungsten Greys much, so it is not a common occurrence.

 

I say Silver is def. the easiest to keep clean. The tradeoff is that Silver never really gets that sparkle when it's clean like a black, or dark blue IMO.

 

I have a 08 Vapor and its the best color besides black. I miss the wow factor of black...but when people see my paint in the sun I get so many compliments..its worth it.

 

I feel the same way, wish I could go back in time or something. You're just torturing yourself with this thread, you know.

 

DSG FTW

 

I know. But at the time I had an interested party who was thinking about buying my car from me at a price I could live with. 22,900 with my mods listed in my sig. I would've got my downpayment back and all my equity in the loan. That would be livable. But it fell through and I can't find another buyer for the price I want. So I had to give up on getting a different car. Just would lose to much money to sell.

So my plan is to now deal with this black beast I have. Get a porter cable tool next year and learn how to use it myself. It's the only way to go. My local detailers all want to wet sand the car which is a bad idea so I'm not comfortable with them fixing the issues it has.

Want a job done right? Do it yourself! Sad but true. God I have some stories man...

 

i have a white pickup and it stays clean forever, not that i'm too worried about it getting dirty

 

I borrowed the PC from a friend, bought a few supplies, watched how-to videos and polished my black Subaru with the machine. Looks MUCH better know. You can do it, we can help.
