Easiest and Hardest Colors to maintain?

I'm pretty much going to echo what everyone else has said:
Hardest to maintain = solid black, metallic blacks are at least slightly easier in my experience. Purples and reds can be a pain too.
Easiest = silver

Personally, I'm sick of the huge number of silver and metallic gray cars on the road. I think cars are becoming blander, at least on average, and coupling that with bland colors doesn't help. I applaud the minor resurgence of bright yellow, orange, lime green, etc.
 
I wear sunglasses all the time, it really helps!

10-4 on that... where you live in SoCal it's bright and sunny almost everyday, where I live here in Stuart, Florida is bright and sunny for at least a portion of everyday.

It's important to protect your eyes in areas of lots of sunny weather especially if you drive a convertible year around.

Very well said and I couldn't agree more. About the only way to tell most new cars apart is by their hood emblem or trunk lid emblem. Grill and front clip design helps a little but even these areas are all starting to look the same except for some distinct front designs like BMW but from the grill back all new cars kind of look the same.


I applaud the minor resurgence of bright yellow, orange, lime green, etc.

I agree again, Jeep has done a good job and so has Ford and even Chevrolet...

+1

Personally, I have never been a fan of silver and white cars. To me those colors just do not pop when they are cleaned.

People by far prefer neutral and colorless vehicles. Here is an article on vehicle colors:

http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/792/americas-most-popular-car-colors

20% of people chose a white vehicle.
17% of people chose a silver vehicle.
17% of people chose a black vehicle.
12% of people chose a gray vehicle.

The only "color" that cracked the top 5 was blue (13%).
 
I currently have light metallic silver.

But its not reflective enough.

Which middle color will be reflective, but not show scratches?
 
Milano Red R-81, once they oxidized to Milano Pink, it will never come back, no matter what compound or polish you use. Mine become glossy Milano Pink FML
