Major Problem with the color.

I own a black car and yes it looks pretty damn good when clean but it's really easy to get dirty and show every little detail. And yes swirl marks shows. I also own a red car before and love it. I wouldn't get black again for my next car, but it's up to you

IMHO, don't choose black. My last vehicle was a very nice '08 Accord coupe and it was black. It was a B*itch to keep clean. I would wash and polish it and only an hour later it was showing the dust. And if it rained....

The Platinum Graphite (or Carbon Silver as it's called in Canada) seems to be a very easy color to maintain. It doesn't show dust and when it's dirty, it still looks clean.

So.... dark colors bad (to keep looking clean)..... light colors good.
