I know jeffblue and zcarman have/had pretty much swirl free cars.

And if you want persimmon, black is the way to go.

word, black (or any other dark color) isnt any more easily damaged than any other color, its just that other colors hide it better. especially if its a pearl color, like the PW on the 370z, you can swirl the sh1t out of it and unless you really look close you wont notice it.

one nice good clay/polish per year along with proper (2 bucket, grit guards, multiple wash mits, lots of microfiber towels) washing technique will yield a pretty much swirl free car. By the time you do your annual polishing, there will be a few minor swirls that will be easily removed with a fairly light polish and a porter cable and you're back in action with a swirl free car.

Black 2010 370z

Black 1994 300zx TT (original, 17 year old paint)

Blue 2008 BMW 335 (Original 3 year old paint)

Not sure I want to dedicate that much to it. How does Gunmetal Gray do at hiding a swirl, in comparison? Sick color combo though. I love me the camel fur! (which I will insist on calling it)

More interior shots?
