What are the best and worst car colours?
April 18th, 2008 by Danny the web stig
The best car colour is almost certainly silver. Swirl marks hardly show, in fact, dirt and dust doesn’t show so much as it has nothing to contrast against.
The worst colour is probably black or anything that is really dark. Most of the dirt on your car is fairly light in colour and so contrasts against dark coloured cars. And any swirl marks catching the light are easily seen on a dark car.
If you have your heart set on a black or dark blue car, I’d recommend getting paint sealed straight away. Throw away any washing kit you have and buy new gear, and buy the right gear. Follow Anna’s article on how to wash your car, so you can keep it clean while getting the minimum of scratches, and also buy yourself something like AutoGlym Ultra Deep Shine to help hide any scratches you do get.
Stay away from automated car washed and don’t drive through any hedges.
Dark coloured cars may be murder to keep clean, but they don’t half look good when they are clean and polished!
