I like to see some dirty pictures

No...not that kind of dirty pictures.

I am talking about your F10 car that has not been clean or wash for a few days. I want to see what the dust accumulation would look like covering your car.

Most of the photos that I see (here at the forum and the auto show gallery) are usually of colors that are sparkling clean and so shiny that make me drool no matter what color it is. Most cars don't look that shiny and clean on the average.

So lets see those dirty pictures.

It would make my color choices a little bit easier also.

I say you should go for sliver or gray if you don't wash your car often. Any dark colors and white would require frequent cleaning

It's a brand new car....not sure that many of us will be letting our cars sit around dirty at this point! It's a new toy and I'm washing it every week for now.

Well I have a dark blue car and have had black in the past and they show everything. They look very good when clean but hard to keep that way. White can also be very hard to keep clean.

My father has light gray, a little darker than silver, and his car looks good all the time. During the pollen seasons, the yellow pollen hardly shows on his car as compared to my car.

I agree with RC3 and say go for silver or light gray if you want reduce the need to wash.

My car once I get it will probably be dirty most of the time.
Especially during road salt winter season here in the UK.

I'll post a pic or two later this year.

Silver hides the fine swirl marks/scratches better then other colors.
