Picking the right color

[WannabeOwner]

Our main concern with the white is that it will get dirty very quickly and will require us to do washes more than once a month

Would "wrapping" it help with that (regardless of colour)?

Not too sound too much as a novice, but what do all you guys mean by wrapping the vehicle? It seems like a lot of you get the MS and MX wrapped. Why? I've been meaning to inquire

I don't see how putting something like an XPEL wrap does anything to reduce washing. Protecting it for sure but washing, nope.

Had a silver car before my current blue S. The silver definitely hid the dirt better than the blue. My wife has a black car, you can always see dirt on it.

OP is asking about white vs. silver. Silver definitely hides dirt better (MUCH better). We have a silver car that rarely needs to be washed and always looks relatively clean. White isn't nearly as bad as black to maintain, but if you live in places where it rains often, you'll have to clean it more than you would a silver car.

I also personally like silver a little bit better because I think it shows the lines of the car slightly better. White is so bright that some of the lines get lost, especially from the side.

I live in Southern California. I do spend a considerable amount of time on my week ends at the beach (not sure it plays a factor)

Side note: just learned CA tax rebate is gone and considering the white to partly make up for it

I just picked up my Obsidian Black yesterday. When I was at delivery center I saw about 20-30 cars in all colors. I would recommend going there to see colors in person. You will have a better comparison.

You wrap the car up in a plastic bag when it sits outside.. It helps protect the paint.. It's very time consuming though J/k

They are both white but the Pearl has a glistening look to it. The regular white it a very stark white in the sun.

I just got my refresh 90D in flat white. Adding dark grey metallic tsportlines and some 35 photosync tinting really finishes the look and is amazing.

Congrats!! Picture please.

I think I will opt for the color changing version. Pine Pollen Gold Metallic in spring, Dusty Road Tan in summer, Vibrant Leaf Orange in fall, and Encrusted Salt White in winter.


Thank you kindly.

Which one is the darker blue? I thought there was just a single blue color

Biased, as my avatar pic shows... several people have commented that the silver on a refresh looks great, and I would have to agree. Living in MN, my main issue is dirt, particularly in winter, and my husband wanted a subtle color - silver nicely addresses both of those. I've had it four weeks now - not washed it yet, and you can't tell.

I haven't yet taken posed photos, and I'm out of town, but I have this quick garage shot to get it started. It replaced my dark blue 2013 s85
