As mentioned above. Black color vehicles is very hard to keep clean. I had a silver 4Runner, Loved it. Looked clean all the time. DG G35 coupe. Loved it also. sometimes looks a little dirty.. but not bad. After the G I got a silver LS430, again, silver.. always looked clean. Right now I own a black xrunner... oh boy! I don't even want to wash it anymore... gets dirty 2 days later. Next car I get will be a shade of silver. no more black cars for me.
But get what you like, you will look at it everyday....

 

Is'nt that just the lighting?

 

LOL yeah I was just kiddin'.

 

I also noticed the whole in the dark thing. On a cloudy day I'll see a DG drive by me and its like wow I should've gotten that. Then on a bright sunny day its meh.

 

black is definitely sexier but a pain to keep clean.. i would still go with black over graphite though

 

DG is as common as fleas on a stray dog! Why would you want to have the same color G as 80% of the members at a meet? Keeping dark colors looking good is a learning process and requires more work but the end result is worth every minute spent!

lol the few great things about dg is its so common that if theres a part for sale it will most likely be dg so no need repaint it

 

I couldn't DISAGREE with you more.

I hate spending time cleaning and waxing cars. Spending time on mechanical things is one thing, because it allows the car to last for a long time and functionally perform... but I hate wasting precious hours of my life constantly washing a car just to make it look nice when I could be using that time for more productive things, more fun/social things. The novelty of washing and keeping a new car clean wears off for me after about a year or 2, and then I only wash and wax it like 3 or 4 times a year max so that the paint is protected by a layer of wax at all times.

 

Agreed.My car can look clean for a month straight if kept garaged.Try that with a darker color

 

ge the diamond graphite man

 

Diamond Graphite. I got my first black car (now). And I hate the swirls. You detail it, then was it 3-4 times and there back.

I wont ever buy black again. I like grey or white. But I havent seen a white G in person.

 

The great thing bout white is u dont really see the swirls but then u deal with oxidation. That sucks harder imo lol

 

I would say DG. Black is nice, but like everyone else says, its hard to keep clean.

 

i have a black G, the swirls is killing me everytime i look at it under the sun

 

Try using a synthetic wax. Should help a little. And get you some of that quick wax in a bottle
And use that every other time you wash.
