What is the easiest and hardest car color to maintain?

[archinox]

Hi Tsikoteers!
Although I read some of these on other forums (mostly international) I still want to know the Pinoy's point of view especially tsikoteers who owned more than one car. I don't know if this thread was post last time for I am also new in the forum. I will be having my first car and I have chosen a dark blue color (like the genesis blue). Sabi ng mga kakilala ko mas mahirap daw i-maintain ang blue color than black in terms of dust and other marks. Anyone here with same blue car color? can you share me some of your experiences? TIA!

Hard to maintain:

Black (-) scratches and dirt are very visible

White (-) nagma mantsa

*Both are the most elegant colors IMO

Easy to maintain:

Grey (+)scratches and dirt are not too visible
(-) mahirap pakintabin.

My Dad likes blue for his cars, I don't think it's harder to maintain than black.

I agree with c4u...

easiest: gray
hardest: black

tanong ko lang guys. Ano ba basehan niyo para masabi na eto ung hardest to maintain at eto naman ung easiest. Sa akin eh wala namang mahirap basta dapat masipag lang maglinis ng kotse at maingat lang sa gasgas.

May 2 types:

1. Maintaining to keep a car looking "clean". Meaning, miske na madumi at maalikabok na, eh mukhang malinis parin.

2. Maintaining a finish without dimples, scratches, and swirls.

it doesn't really matter if you clean your car everyday

Hardest: gray
Easiest: silver

I have both, yung gray laging kita yung alikabok kahit overnight lang. Yung silver kahit isang linggo na di punasan.

Hardest: Black
Easiest: Silver

I have both. Yun silver kahit tagal walang carwash mukha pa rin presentable.

Hardest is white kitang kita dirt spots tapos kahit malinis na mahirap naman pakintabin

Easiest bronze mukhang madumi kahit malinis pa. :D

Isn't grey/silver the same shade? My car is medium silver but I call it grey

Dust is greyish kasi kaya it doesn't show so much even my matting is grey

In general a lighter gray/silver is easier to maintain, swirls are rarely visible, you can't achieve the "wet look" but you can make reflective (but not like the mirror finish of dark colors) and shiny clean.

I have hilux wine/beige kahit isang buwan na walang hugasan no prob. Wag ka lang didikit. Hugas lang everyday is yung gulong kita yung dumi.

Hardest to maintain for me is black. White once na magmantsa na (dirty white) hindi na rin mahirap. But to keep it very white parusa

[foresterx]

Hardest:
Black - no matter how hard you try it will be dirty as soon as you use it plus scratches are easily seen even if it's just a hairline scratch.

Easiest:
Silver - scratch are barely seen and can keep clean for a couple of days with out cleaning.

hardest black :
- kitang kita palagi ang alikabok, lalo na sa hood
- kita rin kahit slight scratch lang

Pag tag araw; Mahirap linisin yung matagal na hindi nalilinis at nawa-wax, pag nagpatong patong na ang dumi kahit na anong kulay yan e problema. Color doesn't matter!

Pag tag ulan at inabutan ka ng tikatik na ulan, yung gray e gray pa rin and rest of the color is grayish na kaya mukhang dugyot. Kaya ang gray hindi ko type dahil pag walang kintab e hindi sya malinis tignan!
(I have white, blue and black color cars)

Easiest yung chrome, look at the jeepneys kahit bagong hugas mukhang ganoon pa rin.

Seriously, black and blue. Kahit basa pa kita na yung nanikit na soil/dirt, lalo na pag natuyo, namumuti..

Silver is the easiest to maintain, wag lang dadaan sa bundok kasi yellow ang kulay ng mud.

For all the colors you need a good wax para isang sumpit lang ng pressure washer, bagsak ang dumi.

hardest would be black...

i have a green/silver colored car, mahirap sya alagaan pag tagulan since dumihin, pero pag alaga naman sa linis, ok lang.

i also have a white car, dumihin sa tagulan, pero di rin mahirap alagaan, wag lang pabayaan.

Salamat po sa inyong overwhelming responses. Sana po may makapag bigay ng insights about blue color kase yun ang balak ko kunin na color. Kitang kita din ba agad ang dumi dun? Mag ta-tagulan pa naman na ngayon.
Thanks Tsikoteers!

Yung dust kapag matagal na nasa garahe, yes pero kapag malapit lang. Pero kaag medyo malayo, malinis tingnan. Kapag umulan, punasan mo agad paguwi. Yan lagi ginagawa ko. Light blue yung akin (vios gen 2.5)
