    I have a CSG GTI and it hides the dirt much better than the black Nissan my wife used to have. The black ones do look brilliant when clean, but 200 metres later.....

    Sometimes I only notice how dirty it is when I brush against it and the dirt shows up on a white shirt.

    The silver Honda I used to have was probably better but it is marginal. I would have no hesitation getting this colour again.

    But you're so fastidious in cleaning your car Stu... whether you can actually see the dirt or not won't make a difference, surely.

    Doesn't matter what colour the car, they all look clean if you wash them every day

    My old man used to say that dust is generally white/grey in colour so the darker he car the more you tend to see it get dirty, so if your car is white or a derivative of grey you are less likely to see how dirty the car actually is. His other comment was that if you clean your car regularly even if it rains it dries clean.. fair comment I say
