Now it's true that one of my 997S cars was silver and that was a breeze but this white car is not easy to keep clean .

With black the issues seem to be how the paint shows dust or swirls and maybe its from so many years of black cars that i have mastered the art of careful washing . Plus now that i found El Chino the detailer I would laugh in the face of dust.

But the white car is a different species when it come to cleaning . I don't worry about dust or swirls as much but it sure has other things to awaken concern .

1) A rock chip nicked my front bumper . On a black car it's hardly visible but on a white car it becomes a spectacle. I will probably use some touch up paint because it is so small .

2) I am not placing film on my car which can yellow and with a white car its very visible.

3) A scuff mark on the door sill on a black car is a nuisance but on a white car it's an immediate eyesore .

4) Most people see a black car and if its clean they are amazed. If it's dirty that's what they expected . With a white car that's not the case .


Larry,
If u opt for the GT3 rocks,dirt, and tar just jump OFF the car

, i have to work hard, so yes it stays in the garage alot, at least my value will stay up, with the low miles i will keep on it. But when i do get a chance, any minute i have free time i take it out, and i drive long and hard. Only if i had the time to drive all day, 7 days a week, it would be cool.
