Which car color is the hardest to maintain and conversely, which is the easiest to maintain and why?

sir sa experience ko silver pinakamadali i-maintain. di masyado halata mga water marks at alikabok, kahit ung mga micro scratches/swirls kailangan mo talaga titigan bago mo makita.

Hardest is non-metallic black - every single scratch and blemish can easily be seen, as well as any dust or dirt on the car. Easiest, as mentioned, is light metallic silver, where it's really difficult to see swirls or scratches, and dust blends in with the color of the car.

Generally, are all wax and polish products applicable to all car paint color? The reason I ask this is that I saw some products like Mothers and Meguairs that have waxes that are exclusive for black color paint car (correct me if im wrong as i have only seen the label).

Follow-up question on carnauba wax:

How often do you apply carnauba wax in your car? and does carnauba wax "thins" your car paint? may negative or side effects ba in applying this type of wax? TIA.

Sir, am no expert, but have been reading (and buying) a lot on detailing products. The carnauba waxes do not thin the paint. The products that thin the paint are those with abrasives, like compounds and polishes. So no side effects in applying carnauba waxes. There a also "Carnauba cleaner waxes" and these supposedly clean and wax the paint at the same time, you can check the label if it has abrasives.

A very good guide is the posted thread at the top of this section: "Tamang OC lang...", this is what started me in giving the proper care to our cars. And then I also joined pinoydetailing.com...and then after a few thousand pesos, our car is a little shinier, with a little less scratches and swirl marks. And I've been enjoying myself learning how to do it. I know you will too...
