Garage List
I chose mineral white because I wanted it to stay cooler in the sun. I don’t have a garage and park under trees, but after a while I began parking in the yard to stay away from the trees. With every rain or heavy dew, I got “tree tea” brown spots that dont wash off that easily. Some of it probably involved sap.

In summer the car gets lots of bug splat every time I drive, so I dont try to keep it pristine. But I hated the brown spots that I had to rub off with my fingers. No scratches to the paint, and I’ve waxed it to try to make spots clean easier.

Love the mineral white. As someone else mentioned, it stays amazingly cool in the sun. I also use reflective window sun shields when it is bright and sunny. It is my first white car so I’m very pleased about the cool factor.
