Black vs White Camaro
Which looks better? What's best to use for keeping a
black Camaro clean? |

My first Camaro was black and I loved it. But it is a bear to keep clean. This thread will help with cleaning. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=45

A white Camaro can be scratched and swirled to hell but still look good and clean because you can't see all the imperfections. A black Camaro only looks good if it's perfect which is very hard to do and even harder to do consistently and on a regular basis. |

When clean, black is best.

And that is the key terminology.
This is why I never have and never will own a black car. Love looking at them when they are at car shows all cleaned up and purdy.....

What looks better? Black.
What's better for your sanity? White. Wax becomes your best friend. |

if you can wash your 3-4 times a week like i do black is the way to go. but if you dont like all the work then white still looks nice and easy to keep clean. and well the black camaro will be faster than the white one

When my SW SS was on order over 4 years ago, my dealer offered me the exact car on the lot but in black.
I could have had the black car 2 months earlier.... Said no thanks, I'll wait. Best decision I ever made.
