I think your car looks pretty clean in that picture???
You should try black. It's a lot more difficult to keep clean than white.
Out of all of the colors I've tried, the metallic colors have always been the easiest to keep clean. But the non-metallic colors always look the best when washed and waxed.

Add a layer of Opti-Coat 2.0 and you'll notice a lot less grime on the car. Once applied, not much sticks to it and it's like having a permanent coat of wax. Makes cleaning the wheels painless too. My dark blue 991 w/Opti-Coat has been the easiest car to maintain and I've had plenty of silver cars in the past.

I hated my first color choice and it cost me 15K (first car was a few months old) to move on. I now own a white car and couldn't be happier: it's probably one of the easiest colors to keep clean, IMO.
My advice to you: be extremely careful with your next color choice.

Yep...same here. Looks beautiful but hard to keep the back end clean....not sure other colors will be any better though. I may try silver for my next 991.... I had silver Cayman before my white 991 and it looked clean all the time.

A great thought. We can all use a little color, black and white are, well, black and white. Now add a black interior and you get...boring, been there and done that. Not seeing too many B&W Ferrari or 12C's.
Thanks for the input. This is my 4th 911 and my 2nd turbo. Other colors include blue, red, black, and silver. Those who read too much in these posts have it all wrong- this is a great car, one of the best cars I've ever owned. The white in the current 991tt is stunning. My only point was that compared to all the other 911s that I've owned with the various colors I've never noticed them to pick up dirt even after one drive. It is only in the rear that the dirt accumulates- this maybe from the aerodynamics of the current car?

Yes, I was there with the white 991 turbo. Unfortunately could not park in the big lot. Apparently you have to get there before 6:30 am to get a spot.

Yeah, we get there at 6:10am every time.
Same here. Maybe we need to find a way to pole the PCAR owners that plan on attending and block space for the group. Some ford guys beat us to the normal PCAR spaces on Sunday.
