Sunburst Orange

I have a quick question for you people with sunburst orange.

How does it show the dirt?

My black one now shows everything (of course, its black) and I'm wondering if orange is better or worse. Same goes for little dings and marks. (Once again the black shows every little spot that someone even looks at)

From a distance you cant really see anything cause the metallic paint hides it well, too sparkley to tell. But when you get up close you can really see it. Especially the trunk area it all seems to build up there. The hood doesn't really hold any dirt though, but maybe that's cause i wax the crap out of it. I had a black truck and hate the dirt and swirl marks. You can't really see the dings unless you look at a far distance from an angle and kinda when it's dark. but I don't really have any big ones yet but i've seen other cars like that.

I had a Cavalier that was that color and it hid the dirt pretty well. It only showed up when I drove it through alot of melting snow.

I am not saying that I don't wash/wax my car, I do on a regular basis. But one day after I do a wash/wax you can easily tell on my black ss that there is a layer of dirt on it already.

I have never own anything but black, and my dad has a black impala and black camaro, lol. Never lived with anything else.

I have a black Cobalt also (traded my orange cavy for it). I just simply go to the carwash and rinse the car off instead of giving it a full wash every other day. It works fine doing this and not as expensive as washing it two or three times a week. Black looks great but so hard to keep clean.

Our Sunburst Orange, like the others does not show too much dirt. My biggest gripe is with brake dust on the SS wheels. Tried the Michelin products, not too happy with the results, any suggestions?

All hail the all-mighty California Car Duster! Coupled with some Wizard's Mist-N-Spray, your car can gleam for a week and a half.
