re: Are black cars really harder to keep clean?

Rain and dust/dirt show up more. Just get one of those monthly passes at the carwash and hit it as needed.

I go about 20 times a month, the ride is always sparkling.

Anyone regrets getting a black car/truck?

I've had several white and one black car. After years of dealing with lovebugs, I won't do white ever again. Black cars or any dark color aren't too bad if you don't mind going through auto car wash weekly.

Yes, MUCH more so. I've had two of them. Scratches show easier, dirt shows easier. Without a doubt a harder car to keep clean.

Yes. My truck is black and it is such a pain in the arse to keep clean.

I will never buy a black vehicle again

Insanely so. And the clear coat shows every scratch. I owned a black 240SX back in the 90s and will never own another black car, period.

Stay away from black vehicles. They show everything and swirl marks. If you want a dark vehicle, buy a dark green or dark blue. It will show dirt, but not as bad as black.

White is the way to go. Looks clean even when dirty

Only poor people worry about buying black cars because of having to get their car washed.

Black Cars look better in the shade

It'll show more dirt, but I always just get the color I want and figure that out later. More important to me to have the color I want than for it to be 'harder to keep clean'.
