Paul Miller - class act

Last we met we took the tour on the Pallisades from state lookout!

I agree - black is a tough color to maintain. Glad to hear you went to Paul Miller - that's where I bought my cars. Anthony is a good guy. Nick is my sales person - terrific person. Pleasure to deal with them. They truly want to build relationships. Please send my regards.

Not dingy and to me, a dirty car just sticks out as much negatively as a clean one does in a positive way... So yeah, while the darker you go in color, the more it shows dirt and dust... but I can't imagine keeping white any dirtier than black. YMMV.

My choice has nothing to do with washing and cleaning the car: I've always been a fanatic and truly enjoy cleaning my own vehicles. My hobby cars are always immaculate, and never see rain or snow.

Park your black car in the bright sunlight and you'll understand exactly where I'm coming from; swirl marks are the one thing I can't tolerate.

I like white (991s is my first white car). Swirl marks are not visible. But it is such a pain to keep clean. Grey and silver are so much better at hiding dust/dirt. Enjoy
