So in your opinions what color camaro stays cleanest the longest???

I know location and storage might play into factor.. But my camaro is already dusty within 30min of washing

jdmayolo · 10-17-2011, 01:58 AM

would have to go with grey

dutchnrican · 10-17-2011, 02:16 AM

idk... my old Camaro was cyber grey and i only ever washed it once lol. it just never looked dirty to me

then again i didn't pay attention to it as much as i do my new one. it was more or less just a car to me. but a good looking one at that.

my new black one ive only had about a month and a half and i've washed it multiple times, i notice every little spec of dust or dirt on it, but i love it. and i dont know how it gets so dirty cause ive only driven it a couple of times, it just sits out in the yard mostly. but most of the time it is dirty paw prints that i notice. i think my cat gets on it. i wish i had a garage.

white isn't bad. silver IMO would be best

mikeSS · 10-17-2011, 04:04 AM

sliver or grey

rachykells · 10-17-2011, 07:21 AM

My Cyber Gray hardly ever looks dirty. At least from a far. I can tell it's dirty if I really get up close and it has been a while since the last washing.

Very happy about this, as I did my time by owning a black car for 8 years. Never again!

Sir Nuke · 10-17-2011, 07:29 AM

as far as what doesn't show dirt......NO DOUBT......SILVER.

boltmark · 10-17-2011, 07:39 AM

silver

INTIMIDAT3R · 10-17-2011, 07:44 AM

Silver or white look clean even when dirty.

Kurushio · 10-17-2011, 07:52 AM

My CGM will usually look really clean but then once i get right up to it i can see all the damn pollen marks and now im also getting spider webs all over. The other say when i went to drive it there were some spider webs on it so i got them off and just before i got in i saw a spiderweb on my drivers side window and in the middle was a pretty beefy spider a little bigger than a quarter.

BowtieBelle · 10-17-2011, 08:40 AM

Silver or white. It's surprising how white hides stuff.

Spiders.

BTW-- where in SW Ohio are you? Come over to the regional forums and say hello in the OH thread if you haven't already!

white and gray are boring colors, who cares if they hide dust. i never understand that...you may notice your own car looking dirty or dusty, but 99 out of 100 people that see your car on the road will not pay that much attention to the dust detail on your car unless it's just flat out disgusting.

get the color that looks the best clean!

White or Silver. Silver hides dirt the best but water spots show prominently - as with most other colors. With white, you don't see the water spots until you're fairly close. White is also easier to clean as you don't necessarily have to dry it for it to look great (water spots, runoff). All Camaro colors are great. It just depends on how much time and elbow grease one wants to apply in making one's car look great, IMHO.
